The Federal Government has raised alarm over plans by the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram to attack polling units during the 2015 general elections.
According to The Nation, the group has perfected plans to collect, buy or steal the Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) of female voters, give them to female suicide bombers to pave way for them to carry out their deadly activities during the elections.
Mr. Mike Omeri, the Coordinator of the National Information Centre, stated this while briefing journalists alongside security officers at the centre in Abuja.
He urged Nigerians, especially female voters to be mindful of their PVCs to ensure that they don’t get into the hands of bad elements.
“By this information, therefore, Nigerians, especially female voters, are warned to remain vigilant and also jealously guard and preserve their PVCs to avoid the possibility of their being lost to these bad elements who will put them to untoward uses,” he said.
