The State Security Services, SSS, said it had uncovered lists containing names and photographs of security personnel, foreigners and under-aged children on the registered members list of the All Progressive Congress, APC.

The spokesperson of SSS, Marilyn Ogar, disclosed this on Wednesday at a news conference in Abuja on Wednesday.

Ms. Ogar also said that a video with tutorial for hacking was also uncovered when the service raided a building in Lagos.

She displayed the lists and other items recovered from the building to newsmen.

She also alleged that SSS recovered forms completed by the APC without passport photographs, alongside books containing names of people with phone numbers and many envelopes containing passport photographs of people.

SSS operatives raided the APC data office at No. 10, Bola Ajibola St., Ikeja, Lagos state, on November 24, 2014. Operatives arrested some staff during the raid.

At the time, the agency said it acted on a tip-off. Later, Ms. Ogar said Nigerians would be shocked when presented with the findings of the raid.

At Wednesday’s briefing, Ms. Ogar said the agency “suspects” that the opposition party was working on an elaborate plan to illegally inflate the number of the members. ...PremiumTimes
