Two officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in Obokun LGA Area of Osun State were earlier this morning (around 3a.m.) arrested for diverting sensitive election materials.
Sources said one of the suspects, the Electoral Officer for the LGA, confessed to the act but refused to name those who sent him as he pleaded for mercy.
However, he did not deny when confronted that he was sighted inside vehicles belonging to a PDP stalwart in Obokun, Chief Francis Ade Fadahunsi.
His phone call log also showed clearly that he’s had constant voice and SMS communication with the PDP chief.
The vigilant people of Otan-Ile would have lynched the suspects but for the intervention of police officers.
The INEC vehicle with registration number FG 816 V01 used in transporting the materials and the suspects involved are presently held at the State CID of the Police Command in Oshogbo.
The arrest is coming barely 24 hours to the state governorship election on Saturday, 9 August.
