Nigerian charged for registering to vote in Ghana

A  Nigerian evangelist is to be charged for registering to vote in Ghana, Tema police have said.

The man, Evangelist Vandal, 32, is reported to have registered in the recent Electoral Commission (EC)’s Limited Voter Registration exercise, aided by a Ghanaian, Solomon Kpakpo Addo who served as his guarantor.
Speaking to Joy News Public Relation Officer of the Tema Regional Police, ASP Juliana Obeng said police caught the man during investigations over a stolen phone.
Police officials said Vandal was arrested on May 12 over the stolen phone but during  interrogation, police spotted ink on his finger. They asked how he got it to which he said he took part in the voting registration, ASP Obeng said.
Vandal, who was staying in Community 1 had been in Ghana for six months and said he thought that made him a Ghanaian and so needed to take part in the recent registration.
ASP Obeng said he and Addo were currently in the custody of the police alongside his guarantor Addo to be prepared for court.
The police have charged the two for “Registering without qualification which is contrary to the Regulation 28(1A) of the Public Elections Regulations Act and giving false information to the Electoral Commission officials which is also contrary to the Legislation 28 (1E) of CI 91 (2016).”
