"The NNPP has cloned identity of accredited observers by the independent national Electoral Commission (INEC) for more 150 of its members in the metropolitan area to execute the reprehensible act."
Malam Garba then called the public to report any of such imposters to the police and also called security agencies to decisively dealt with the situation.
