BREAKING: Many BVAS Machines Missing In Rivers
Information reaching Naija News House says that 22 BVAS Machines Missing In Rivers
About 22 of the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System, BVAS, in Rivers State for the Governorship and House of Assembly polls are feared missing.
This was as over 6865 of the machines deployed to the state have been successfully reconfigured for Saturday’s polls.
It was gathered that three of the accreditation machines were damaged beyond repairs, hence cannot be used for the polls.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Johnson Alalibo, told newsmen and representatives of election observers for the polls that the development would not affect the process.
Alalibo said the commission has enough back-up systems, adding that the missing ones would not disturb the process in anyway.
He said that the electoral umpire would ensure that those missing gadgets would not be used by criminals.
