“I am glad to report that INEC Administrative Secretary in Zamfara, Mr Garba Lawal has just informed me that the ad hoc staff who went missing have been found, hale and hearty. They got missing after a commotion, as they failed to trace their way back. May Almighty God be praised for this wonderful development”.
