The officials were arrested at Omuma Primary School in Oru East local
government area following an order by Mr Mike Igini, one of the
Resident Electoral commissioners deployed in Imo for the election.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Imo, Dr Gabriel Ada, who
confirmed the arrest, said the officials were already in police custody.
Ada said the ad hoc workers connived with agents of a political party to thumb-print ballot papers leading to their arrest.
In the same vein, the election has been cancelled in Ozuh Primary
School, Omuma following the arrest of 25 persons claiming to be INEC
officials by military men.
The arrested persons and the election materials in their possession were taken to the Oru East local government headquarters.
