1550 ballot boxes were on Saturday intercepted in Bauchi state, Nigeria.

Tension swept through Bauchi State political space yesterday following the interception of a truck load of 1550 ballot boxes expected to be used in next year’s elections.

The transparent white empty ballot boxes were yesterday intercepted on the Darazo -Dukku road, 110 kilometres from the state capital, by state security operatives.

Described as non-sensitive INEC electoral materials, the boxes were found in a 24 feet container trailer with registration number plate, Abuja XE784 ABJ driven by one Mohammed Shaidu. The consignment, according to Shaidu, was destined for Gombe State. Rumour soon spread that the boxes were stuffed with thumb printed ballot cards.
