DSS CONFIRM RAID ON APC OFFICE IN LAGOS

The Directorate of State Security Service has confirmed the raid on APC office in Lagos saying it was conducted based on a tip-off that some persons were using the office to hack into the system of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to produce permanent voter’s register.
The spokesperson of the DSS, Marilyn Ogar said the operation was supported by an appropriate search warrant.
“A source sent a petition to us that they were using that office to corrupt INEC computer systems and hack into the network so that they can replicate permanent voter’s cards.
“We watched the place for two weeks and got a valid warrant from the court to search the office. When we got there, we saw over 50 computers.
“The building in question has no signboard indicating that it is APC office. We monitored the place for about two weeks after the petition before we got in. When we got in today (Saturday), we saw over 50 computer sets with about 18 staff.
“Other political parties have signboards and signposts indicating that it is their office. There was nothing indicating that it belonged to a political party.”
