TINUBU/APC & ELECTORAL MAL-PRACTICE Tinubu Ask Us To Clone PVCs As DSS confirms Arrest Of Suspected Cloners Of PVCs In APC’s Lagos Office. The Department of State Security (DSS) has confirmed the arrest of suspected cloners who were alleged to have specialised in the cloning of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voters’ cards with the intention of hacking into the INEC data base, corrupting it and replacing them with their own data. The suspects were arrested in the same office, which APC acknowledged housed its data processing centre in Lagos. The department’s spokesperson, Marilyn Ogar, in a statement on Sunday, said some of the suspects were arrested and caught with a server, three hard drives, and three jute bags (known in local parlance as Ghana-must-go bags) of hard copy documents. The statement reads: “A petition was received by the service about some activities at No. 10 Bola Ajibola Street, Off Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos. The petition alleged that those behind the activities were cloning INEC permanent voters’ cards (PVCs) with the intention of hacking into INEC’s data base, corrupting it, and replacing them with their own data. “Based on this information, the service placed the building under surveillance and having been convinced that some unwholesome activities were going on in the building, it undertook a raid of the premises. “In the process, some persons were arrested while a server, three hard drives and three Ghana-must-go bags of hard copy documents were recovered and taken away for further investigation. “It must be noted that the said location has no signpost indicating whether it was a private or government office.”
