APC Thugs And Police Baricade Labaran Makus Venue Of Press Release by businessMODE(m): 2:33pm On Apr 16, 2015
Well all is NOT well yet in Nasarawa State as men of the Nigerian Police Force Nasarawa State Command again demonstrating how they worked for Almakura and APC during last Saturday guber and House of Assembly Elections.

Police barricade entrance of a venue proposed for press conference by Labaran Maku Lafia and have denied journalists entrance to the press briefing.

The military have been on rampage smashing peoples smartphones and tabs all over Keffi, Lafia and other major towns in the state for taking photos or making videos of various electoral malpractice which was evident during last Saturdays election in the state.

Sometime back, the state Governor Almakura in a desperate quest to retain power sent a team of over 150 Policemen and operatives of the SSS to raid Lakio town but ended up in a massacre of about 110 of them by the Ombatse militia.

`From the process of materials distribution and appointment of Adhoc electoral staff and even the posting of INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner to Nasarawa State, it was clear that the agenda was to massively rig the votes in Nasarawa State for Al-Makura to continue in power. Most of the INEC Adhoc staff were either core APC members or sympathizers. The rest were bought over by the regime.


The INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner ensured that materials were delivered mainly to places where APC would have the opportunity to rig. All the places dominated by APGA either suffered shortage of electoral materials or were supplied card readers programmed to fail.


In many cases, results sheets were not available. In most cases, card readers were set aside to allow massive rigging to take place in various units and unspecified localities outside electoral units.


INEC Adhoc staff played the role of APC agents and manipulated the voting process to favour the APC. Mercenaries and thugs were equally deployed to make sure that places where APC was losing were disrupted through attacks on polling and collation centres.


Ballot box snatching was rampant. There was intimidation of voters, destruction of election results and other coordinated crimes by the thugs supported by police in some cases that made the so-called re-election of Tanko Al-Makura laughable and a charade.


This is a big shame to our democracy.
