Pre-thumbprinted ballot papers already marked in favour of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have been intercepted at Aguata High School, Ekwulobia, in Anambra State.
The ballot papers, allegedly prepared for smuggling into the ballot box during the ongoing Anambra South Senatorial by-election, were seized on Saturday.
Donald Amamgbo is the ADC candidate in the election.
The party was recently adopted by former Anambra State governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, along with other opposition figures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Off-cycle elections are going on today across different states in Nigeria including Kaduna, Kano, Ogun, and Oyo states.
