The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said its ad hoc staff who went missing during the December 5, Bakura State Constituency bye-election in Zamfara have been found.
This
was disclosed by INEC Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Mr.
Nick Dazang, who addressed journalists in Abuja on Monday.
The electoral body had earlier declared the two ad hoc staff missing.
According to Dazang, the duo were found hale and hearty.
He
said: “I am exceedingly glad to report that INEC Administrative
Secretary in Zamfara, Mr. Garba Lawal just informed me that our ad hoc
staff who went missing have been found, hale and hearty.
“He
said that they ran for their dear lives during a commotion and in the
process could not retrace their ways back. May Almighty God be praised
for this wonderful development.”
Dazang
applauded the state Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), the
administrative secretary and security agencies for their efforts in
finding the missing ad hoc staff.
