The councillor representing Dunkun-Agala ward of Baure Local
government area of Katsina State, Ahmadu Narayya, was on Thursday
arrested for allegedly purchasing Permanent Voters’ Cards, PVCs.
Upon the arrest of Narayya, who is serving under the PDP platform, about twenty one PVCs were recovered from him.
It
was gathered that most of the PVCs recovered were owned by women in the
area, who were paid between fifteen to twenty thousand naira for each
card.
Some APC youths in the area, who saw the councillor trying to duplicate the cards in a business centre raised alarm.
According
to an eyewitness, the councillor was apprehended by the angry APC
youths who took him to the State Police Command for further
interrogation.
Some opposition parties in the area, however,
accused the police of being biased after releasing the PDP councillor
few hours after he was handed over to the police.
Spokesperson of the Katsina State Police Command, Aminu Sadiq said the
matter was undergoing investigation and that the police were yet to know
the true identity of the persons involved.
