Nigerian Suicide Bomber Jailed In US,Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab Allegedly "Voted' In Edo State

The rate of corruption espcially in respect of voting in Nigeria seems to never cease.According to reports,Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who was jailed in the US in 2012 for terrorism offences recently appeared on the voter's register in Edo where the gubernatorial election just held.This was revealed by the current governor of the state Adams Oshiomolewho drew attention to the existence of AbdulMutallab’s portrait in a fake voters register now in circulation.

The Edo governor said he was shocked to see the portrait of the “underwear bomber” the fake register, but with a Benin name.
Abdulmutallab was convicted of attempting on December 25, 2009 to detonate explosives hidden in his underwear on board an airline from Amsterdam to Detroit, Michigan.

Governor Oshiomhole, who raised concern about the duplication of the voter’s register by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said “the foundation for credible election is the voter’s register. Once the voter’s register is manipulated, then you have problems.

“Right now, we have evidence of two versions of voter’s register – the one they have officially distributed and the one that some elements within the ICT in INEC have also produced in Abuja.

“And what they have done in the past, which we hear they want to re-enact again, is that whereas they will display one voter’s register which is reasonably accurate, there are still some flaws but let me say it is about 85 percent accurate, they also have a fake one which they intend to bring and spring a surprise in certain locations where they believe that they have no chance, and when the voters go there and you find a voter’s register different from the one that you know, there will be confusion in those voting centres.
