Two poachers, whose names have not been confirmed, discovered a bag full of permanent voter cards, PVCs, in a forest in Nnewi, Anambra state.
This comes just four days after the very important general elections in Nigeria.
The bag containing the PVCs was seen by fishermen in a forest in Akamili, a community in Nnewi, on Tuesday and later taken to the headquarters of a popular radio station, Authority FM.
The FM’s station manager, Mr Charles Eddy, who spoke to the DAILY POST, said he was off duty when the cards were brought in, but had been informed of the incident by his staff.
“I was off duty when the accident happened, but one of my employees greeted the hunters when they came. I will send you his number,” he said.
A video of the PVCs, which was filmed at the radio station complex in Nnewi, and which was popular online, showed that most of the PVCs belonged to people in the area.
The radio station staff, who made a short commentary on the video, urged those who had not yet obtained their PVC cards to come to the FM headquarters to check if they could find their videos.
