Police on Saturday, 5 November, uncovered alleged
plot by the agents of the Rivers APC to rig the forthcoming Rivers South-East
Senatorial District as they bursted a fake result sheets printing syndicate in Port Harcourt
The Printing Press, Help-Mate
Consult located at 12 Isiokpo Street D-Line Port Harcourt was printing fake
result sheets for seven local government areas of the Rivers South-East when
the police stormed the facility upon a tip off by a concerned citizen.
Mr Magnus Abe, the Rivers South-East APC candidate for the rerun elections was
reportedly arrested along with Director of Help-Mate Consult , Atonye Peters, a
prominent member of the APC from Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area and three of
his staff, Richard Koko from Okrika, Nanee Godday from Khana and Tammy Garrick.
Atonye Peters claimed that the printing contract was
given to him by Mr Emma Chinda, an APC Leader and Former Commissioner for
Agriculture under Rotimi Amaechi. Already, the printing press has already
completed two sets for two local government areas before the police got wind of

sheets.
