Over one million ballots had been printed at Tulip Press, an Abuja printer supposedly in a bit to rig next week’s presidential elections by 12 persons who were arrested in Abuja. Two individuals were first caught with 100,000 ballot papers loaded into a van. In the ensuing police investigation, the other one million ballots were discovered.

Opposition members had raised an alarm that the printing press belongs to the brother of the deputy chairman of the People’s Democratic Party.

However speaking to Sahara reporter, INEC spokesperson informs that the million ballot papers recovered were dummies which is permitted under the Nigerian constitution. The ballot papers were allegedly designed by the commission in line with “Section 60″ of the Electoral Law to “fool” troublemakers at polling booths if they show up to vote without legitimacy.
