Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mrs. Gesila Khan, disclosed this yesterday, to journalists in Port Harcourt.
According to her, some of the cards were stolen from local government collection centres, where the PVCs were deposited to enable the rightful owners have free access to them at the close of the collection exercise by INEC.
Also, Khan stated that over 50,000 PVCs would be distributed to the rightful owners in two weeks before the general election, noting that over 80 per cent of the registered voters in the state had collected their PVCs.
Speaking further, the INEC resident told the newsmen that her office had received 2,990,056 PVCs and distributed 1,869,379.
The REC, who expressed dismay at the action of the hoodlums, expressed dismay that State recorded one of the highest cases of stolen PVCs in the country.
“I am appealing to Rivers people because we have lost a lot of cards. We have lost more than 14,000 PVCs and it is one of the highest figures in the federation.
