Oti said Police Commissioner Imohimi Edgal directed the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Pedro Police Station to infiltrate the camp of the culprits with his undercover operatives.
“The operatives did as directed, leading to the arrest of the suspects. Exhibits recovered from them included a laptop, 511 INEC Lagos ad-hoc recruitment forms already filled, with passport photographs attached,” he said.
The suspects, he said, were arraigned yesterday at the Chief Magistrates’ Court 2, Yaba, for conspiracy, impersonation, forgery, fraudulent act and unlawful possession of INEC materials.
They were remanded in prison custody pending when they would meet their bail conditions.
The case was adjourned till April 16.
