Youth in Nnewi, Anambra State recover and sort thousands of Permanent Voter Cards found in a forest

In a surprising turn of events, thousands of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) were recovered from a forest in Nnewi, Anambra State by a hunter on Tuesday.

The incident was reported to a local radio station and has since gained attention from residents of the community and beyond.

Following the discovery, youth of the community have taken it upon themselves to sort the recovered PVCs at the Obi Umudim palace, as officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) have yet to arrive at the scene.

The sorting process involves arranging the PVCs according to their respective wards, after which they will be distributed to their rightful owners.

It is unclear how the PVCs ended up in the forest or who left them there, but the recovery has sparked discussions on the need for heightened security measures to prevent the manipulation of the upcoming elections.

Residents of the community have commended the efforts of the youth in ensuring the recovered PVCs are properly sorted and distributed to their owners.

Many have expressed their gratitude towards the hunter who reported the incident to the radio station, as the recovery of the PVCs could have significant implications for the upcoming elections.

While INEC officials are yet to arrive at the scene at the time of report, it is hoped that they will take swift action to ensure that the recovered PVCs are returned to their rightful owners ahead of the upcoming elections.

The incident has served as a reminder of the need for transparency and accountability in the electoral process, and the importance of citizens' participation in safeguarding their democratic rights.
