"How we rigged the Anambra elections" -- Arrested INEC official confesses...Read Details!
“The way this whole thing is going, it looks as if many heads will roll in INEC because the young man has made useful statements and if what he said is anything to rely upon, it then means that some big names in that commission might fall with him.
“At first, he was trying to rationalise his action in that local government area when he was verbally quizzed before the intervention of the police; but, after some time, especially at the point of his detention, he started to cooperate but the cooperation is loaded because he has mentioned some top officials of INEC, especially directors and a PDP chieftain, as those who ‘put him in trouble’."
Mr Okeke Chukwujekwu is the arrested INEC electoral officer...
He was in charge of Idemili North local government of Anambra State, but currently in police detention over his role in the rigging, was said to have confessed to his investigators that he did not rig the election alone, adding that “I was used and dumped”.
The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, had, in the heat of the controversies generated by the flawed poll, admitted that the “electoral officer” in Idemili North “messed up” and that he would be handed over to the police for prosecution.
Chukwujekwu was moved to Abuja on Sunday, just as INEC said it is conducting a probe into the deliberate sabotage of the governorship election.
A top official involved in the election opened up to LEADERSHIP on Tuesday that the arrested INEC official had confessed, and it appears that top directors in INEC might be “implicated” for their involvement.
“All fingers point to some aggrieved politicians and it was a well-funded package that involved quite a lot of people; that is why the man is saying he has been used and dumped,” the inside source said.

Assistant Golden Eaglets coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, on Monday evening assaulted a football agent, Henry Galliano, at the Rockview Hotel, Owerri, the Imo State capital.
According to PremiumTimes, the assault, which happened at about 6:00 p.m. happened because Golden Eaglets star, Kelechi Iheanacho, chose Galliano as his agent ahead of one recommended by Amuneke.
Galliano and his Nigerian partner, Solomon Oluwaseun, both said Amuneke invited them for a meeting before he got angry, saying that his (Amuneke’s chosen) agent must be the one to handle Iheanacho’s transfer.
Then when the agent, Galliano, tried to talk back, the coach slapped him and beat him up in the presence of over 25 people.
