According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Agabi, who identified with an Independent National Electoral Commission reflective jacket, was arrested at the collation center in Okpoma, Yala Local Government Area of Cross River by the security operatives.

He was later taken to Ogoja INEC’s office, where he confessed to be guilty of impersonating.

After taking his statement, he was whisked away by the police to the Ogoja Area Command for further investigation by the CID unit.

The alleged impostor claimed to be a lecturer in philosophy department of the University of Calabar and hails from Ugoro Community in Bekwarra Local Government Area of the state.

He impersonated the INEC collation officer for Yache ward in Yala Local Government Area of the state, Dr Dominic Abakedi.

One of the BVAS found in his possession had the following details: “BVAS No: 09/18/10/012 with 216 accredited voters and 250 votes cast.”

With the collaboration of others, the impostor locked up all the agents of other parties in that ward.

He was also seen to have disappeared since the close of voting around 6p.m. on Saturday and only came back at the senatorial district collation center in Ogoja at past 5p.m. on Sunday.

A senior police officer at the scene, who preferred anonymity, confirmed the development.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police in charge of elections in the district, Zannah Shettima, declined saying anything on the issue, emphasizing that he was yet to be briefed.

According to him, “I don’t have the details and so I can’t speak on it.”

Agabi claimed to be a lecturer in philosophy department and hails from Ugoro Community in Bekwarra Local Government Area of the state.
