We have been briefed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) of the
following facts:
1. That on Monday, 11th of November, 2013, and Tuesday, 12th of November, 2013, the International
Foundation for Electoral Systems in collaboration with the Independent National
Electoral Commission conducted training for accredited independent election
observers who are to observe the Anambra State gubernatorial election scheduled
for Saturday, 16th November, 2013.
2. That on Thursday, November 14th, 2013, the accredited observers who
participated in the training above, met at Disyne Hotel located at Owerri, Imo
State, for further training of their members ahead of the Anambra State
gubernatorial election scheduled for Saturday, 16th November, 2013.
3. That to the utmost dismay of the innocent
and patriotic election observers, at about 2:00pm, the hotel where they were
undergoing training was surrounded by heavily armed police officers acting on
the instruction of Mohammed Katsina,
Commissioner of Police, Imo State, who arrested the entire 120 persons
undergoing training.
5. That the entire accredited observers are
currently in detention at the Imo State Police Command for no offence.
We however, cannot fathom or comprehend the rationale behind the
actions or decisions of Mohammed
Katsina, Commissioner of Police, Imo State, mentioned above, as same are
totally untenable in a civilized and democratic society.
We cannot imagine why accredited election observers, who were specifically
trained by the International Foundation for Electoral Systems in collaboration
with the Independent National Electoral Commission, to observe/monitor the
Anambra State gubernatorial election, should be arrested and detained less than
24 hours to the election.
We think that this is one of the grand plots to rig the Anambra State
gubernatorial election scheduled for tomorrow by crippling genuine election
observers and allowing fake observers to observe the process.
In the light of the above, we call on the Inspector General of Police to
order the immediate release of the 120 accredited independent election
observers currently in detention at the Imo State Police Command so they can
perform their patriotic duties tomorrow.
Thank you.
FESTUS
KEYAMO, ESQ.

Its every man for himself,you aren't sure what the intention of that policeman standing next to you is as you can't possibly trust those black(and now blue) wearing boys.
Government officials will use nearly every available agency of government to achieve their selfish interest(s).
A bloody revolution is imminent!

All na wash ooo.
Hmm, Niaja we know how to play the monkey game. Abeg release these innocent persons
Ngige is soooooo desperate.
I wouldn't want to believe this, as I strongly subscribe to one of the cardinal principles of law "audi alterem partem," but really if this is true, then its ludicrous and utterly lugubrious totally untenable in a true democratic polity resting its supremacy on the grundnorm. We hear bizarre happenings daily. What are the citizens doing to allay the moribund and comatic ambience of things, we are also part of the governing process, ain't we? I strongly advise anambra youths and lovers of complete "extrication of dirigisme and morbid obsession of power" to investigate without delay into the matter, if positive, demand immediate release of those detained even if it means creating a state of imbroglio.
what are corp members doing their, is it money... abeg your live is more important oooo
Arrested, how come? Nigeria!

Free and fair Ngige wins hands down. Anambra, a small state in land mark but still can't call any state before Anambra in this country.
Festus Keyamo should do his findings properly b4 coming out to mk noise! how can 120 election observers be in a hotel in Imo state while elections wuld be Anambra. Besides I listen to their interogations and they were all talking nonsense,they didn't even know the name of their co ordinator. I strongly believe that Festus Keyamo has been bought over.
It's a fat lie!!!!
They are APC thugs being imported from Osun State to come and rig and disrupt Anambra election. what are election "observers" doing with voters cards registered in Anambra they were arrested with? Mind you Festus Keyemo is now highly partisan bcos he is a member of APC.
Read the true story about the incident here.http://newafricanpress.com/2013/11/15/osun-apc-thugs-arrested-in-imo-en-route-to-anambra-police/
APC is a party of liars! APGA all the way!!!
Ndi Igbo, nke anyi bu nkeanyi!!! Vote APGA!!!
What kind of election observers will be caught with pump action guns with live cartridges, Festus Keyamo should try another one, the people caught were APC thugs from Osun state...now the Hen has come home to roost..
Na government camp dem 2 dat Hotel, Olosi, oloriburuku, wanka, onyoshi. linda post amoooooooooooooo
work of evil men in Anambra
Lobatan,my state gonna be bloody 2moro. Na siddon dey look I dey.
Keyamo, u and ur APC men re liars, ur plans of rigging has been thwarted. I used to respect u before but not anymore. Election observers for Anambra u called them? What were they doing in owerri? So Anambra no longer have hotels? What were they doing with Anambra registered cards with guns? Why has Jega not ordered for their release if they re working for INEC? Why did Jega and INEC didn't inform the IMO commissioner of police that such people would be staying in owerri or better still why were there no police from INEC with them or INEC vehicles with them? Why must all of them come from Osun state? Why did they confess of working for a particular candidate? Why did One ayodele amongst them confessed that they were paid 10k each? Keyamo u re a big disgrace.
Okikiola
APC thugs! Are there no hotels in Anambra? Why did they not report at INEC office in Anambra. Why do they want to sneek into Anambra tru owerri and what where they doing with pump action rifle. Rochas hired them from the west. Period.
Its gon b bloody 2morow, i dey ma house dey watch

Politics!!!!. I hope the least corrupt candidate wins
Keyamo should be ashamed of himself. In another some APC officials called it justice and equity initiative, you you call international foundation for electoral system. For a well known lawyer to stoop so low as to blindly siding election rigging is just appalling and shows the state of this country.
I've said it before a party being headed by thiefnubu, what do u expect, they are as bad as pdp, right from lagos spending 320million per megawatts to build a power station when bauchi spent 230million per megawatt to build theirs to the great lekki ponzi scheme.
If election observers can be caught with to two guns and fake voters card, then what will the real riggers carry, weapons of mass destruction?
Shake my head for this country.
Keyamo you are done in Nigeria.
Itunmo?
