Due to allegations of laptop theft during the Biometric Verification Registration process, three Electoral Commission (EC) officials have been placed under interdict.

The police now have the suspects in their custody for additional examination.

This information was disclosed by the EC’s Director of Electoral Services, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe, during a case update regarding the missing devices.

He emphasized that handing over the suspects to the police is an essential first step toward facilitating thorough investigations into the incident.

Dr. Quaicoe reiterated the Commission’s commitment to guaranteeing that justice is served and that those who steal property from the state are held accountable.

“What I can say on authority is that we lost one BVD in North Tongu and what happened was that we normally package these things in ballot boxes. You put your systems and you seal. In the course of transporting, we got there, they couldn’t transport the ballot boxes.”

“So we reported to the police. We have lost this and these are the suspects so investigate and let them go through the legal regime.

“Whatever has to be done should be done. They have been interdicted they are now going through the investigations. So, the police I am told that they will be arraigned before court soon,” he explained in an interview on Joy FM.
