The incident happened last Friday and it started when some group of boys wanted to force us to register them when we have closed for the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are only occupying the premises of the local government and they instructed us not to stay beyond 5pm, which we always abide by. So, on that day, those boys came and said we must register them and even wanted to bypass those they met in the queue. And when they started the confusion, we had to quickly carry the machines inside because they are very sensitive materials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been inundated with phone calls from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/07\/14\/pope-appoints-women-as-members-of-bishops-advisory-committee-first-time-ever\/\">superior<\/a> authorities and even from government circles and we have defended ourselves properly to the extent that anyone still in doubt should go round and possibly interview the registrants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said they are tracing the accusers for arrest and proof of their allegations and possibly prosecution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The state Resident Commissioner, Dr. Nkwachukwu Orji, said the commission was ready to work with the public to fish out and discipline any staff engaged in extortion or any other form of misconduct during the exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Orji said members of the public should feel free to contact the commission for enquires and complaints using the following channel- WhatsApp- 07043528329.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComplaints should contain specific details, including names and locations, that would aid the Commission in judicious handling of the issues, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission at the Onitsha North Local Government Area of Anambra State have denied\u00a0demanding money from people who have come to register for their Permanent Voter Card.
