"Ballots meant for the Nigerian presidential election
were found yesterday at the premises of a local printer in the Essex
area of London.
Our sources said the sensitive election materials, which ought to have
arrived in Nigeria earlier in the week, were unsecured at the premises
of Panther Printing Services in London." - SaharaReporters
It was confirm that a Nigerian firm named Cemoz International Limited
had been contracted to print some ballot papers for the 2015
presidential elections.A spokesman for the Independent National Electoral Commission, Kayode Idowu, confirmed to that Cemoz International Limited was one of the firms awarded the contract to print ballot papers.
It appears that, upon getting the contract, Cemoz went shopping for printers in London to print the ballot papers and then contracted these other printers to serially number the ballot papers. Although the ballot papers for the presidential elections for several southwest states were seen lying around the premises of the printing company in Essex, a staff at the company, speaking to a correspondent of SaharaReporters, said the firm only had the contract to print some of the ballot papers for Jigawa State. Thinking that our correspondent worked for Cemoz, the representative of the Essex-based company asked if we could give them more jobs, adding that their company had mastered how to print ballot papers.
