Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A group, Ogun Integrity Vanguard, has tasked the leadership of security agencies in the country, particularly the Nigeria Police, to ensure comprehensive probe of the electoral infractions allegedly perpetrated by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its governorship candidate in Ogun State, Oladipupo Adebutu, during the March 18 governorship and state assembly elections in the state.<\/p>\n

The group made this call in a statement signed by its secretary, Duro Thomas, and made available to newsmen in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Making reference to the incidents that happened during the polls, the group noted that PDP agents were arrested in the Agbado area of the state by Agbado Police officers with cash, more than 300 PVCs and Verve prepaid ATM cards with the name Caroline Oladunni Adebutu Memorial Endowment Scheme written boldly on them, pointing out that the action was a clear contravention of the Electoral Act.<\/p>\n

It said: \u201cIt was not only the police that arrested agents of the PDP and other parties carrying out such devious acts.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs amply documented by the spokesman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Femi Babafemi, operatives of the agency on election duty stopped and searched four party agents with hundreds of money credit cards meant to buy votes at Ibara Housing Estate, Abeokuta.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach card contained N10,000 and was meant to be activated with a code.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspects, who were PDP agents, were subsequently handed over to the police. It is clear that Adebutu\u2019s bloated image is underpinned by corrupt tendencies.<\/p>\n

\u201c If we want this election to be a litmus test for future elections where Nigerians say no to manipulation and corruption of the electoral space, there is a need for the police to not only investigate but to also invite the PDP governorship candidate to explain why he carried out such infractions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group added that a situation where some people believed that they could have their way through manipulation and corruption of the electoral process must stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf INEC is sincere, this is the time to prosecute and make some people scapegoats,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
