“EXPOSED: APGA’S HIDDEN PLOT TO USE FAKE SECURITY AGENTS TO RIG ANAMBRA ELECTION UNCOVERED IN IHIALA by Civil society group
In what could be the biggest pre-election scandal yet, a civil society group monitoring the Anambra governorship election has uncovered a secret camp allegedly run by the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Ihiala Local Government Area.
According to credible reports, the group discovered dozens of fake police and DSS uniforms, believed to have been prepared for deployment on election day to intimidate voters and manipulate the outcome of the polls.
Preliminary findings suggest that these non-state actors, disguised as security operatives, were allegedly recruited by APGA to mount illegal roadblocks, scare opposition strongholds, and create a false sense of authority in strategic locations across Anambra State,” parts of the post read.
