This led to an investigation which eventually exposed the 29-year-old corps member who hails from Anambra State.

Following the investigation, the corps member confessed that two chieftains of a political party identified as Wale Ojo and Ijamakinwa Olaoluwa requested the PVCs and promised to give him N1,000 per card when he delivered them.

The police spokesman in the state, Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the arrest of the corps member.
