He narrated that, “last week, there were
allegations of weapons, we followed up and we
didn’t have any tangible evidence to support it.
They followed it up with an allegation against a
policewoman that she is hoarding weapons.”

“The police led us to them to show us the place.
They showed us the place, together they all went
through the rooms and there was nothing.”
“This morning, the same allegations that there
are printed ballot papers somewhere, police
graciously went with them, we found these ballot
papers.” But it was subsequently confirmed by
the Electoral Commission that the confiscated
thump-printed ballot papers were fake.
