Nigerian Man Jailed For Attempting To Acquire Voter Card In Ghana by Whiteangel1234: 10:10am On Jul 30, 2020 |
The Kaneshie District Court on Tuesday sentenced Isaiah Chima, 31-year-old Nigerian, to six months imprisonment in hard labour for attempting to register in the ongoing Ghana voters’ registration Chima, a tailor, pleaded guilty to attempt to register as a voter contrary to Section 24 (a) of CI. Election Regulation 1995 and was convicted on his plea. Baba Jamal, his counsel, in pleading for mitigation, told the court, presided over by Madam Rosemond Dodoa Agyiri, that his client was deceived to go to the registration centre. He said on Monday, July 27, 2020, at about 0930 hours, Chima, together with Pascaline Nyadroh and Joshua Payin, went to the Swag Club House Dansoman Registration Centre to register in the ongoing voters’ registration exercise. The prosecution said Pascaline and Payin filled the guarantor’s form to enable Chima to register, saying during the registration, Chima gave his name as Kofi Isaiah. Sergeant Achana said in the course of answering questions, the registration officer became suspicious of Chima’s accent. When the guarantors were confronted, they rushed to their car and drove off, leaving Chima. He was then arrested. After that, he admitted the offence in his caution statement in the presence of an independent witness. Sergeant Achana said Chima told the police that he was from Abia State in Nigeria and that it was Pascaline and Payin that asked him to go and register. http://saharareporters.com/2020/07/29/nigerian-man-jailed-attempting-acquire-voter-card-ghana |

Lol...the Ghanaian authorities should pls calm down, cos this Nigerian man knows the worth of a voters' card in Nigeria on elections day (sometimes 5k, 3k, 1k or gala & lacasera etc), depending on the party and elections day exchange rate). The worth of a voters' card can even tripple once an election is declared Inconclusive and you are a registered voter where the re-run will take place. So he was trying to invest in getting this card as an asset in Ghana...All this na part of the hussle. 1 Like |
