Authorities have confirmed that armed men who aided the snatching of ballot boxes in Lokoja, capital of Kogi State and its environs during the governorship election today, November 16 were “fake policemen.”
The Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Busari and the spokesperson of the police headquarters, Frank Mba, did the confirmation.
Hakeem confirmed that there were incidences of ballot box Snatching but said that it was perpetrated by “fake policemen because no genuine policeman would be involved in snatching a ballot box.”
He said that the police were investigating the incidents and would get to the root of the matter.
And in an interview, Frank Mba said that the police are investigating the reports but believed that fake policemen were involved.
“The fact that people were the uniform of the police does not mean they are police officers.”
