Police release 4 ex-PLASIEC commissioners on bail
The police in Plateau Friday said that it had released four former commissioners of the dissolved Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC) on bail.
The four ex-commissioners had been in police custody for over one week in connection with the alleged disappearance of a vital document.
The state's Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Bala Kassim, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Jos that the four were released on bail on Thursday.
Kassim, however, did not give details on when the case would come up in court.
NAN recalls that Gov. Jonah Jang dismissed the former PLASIEC chairman, Mr. Jefferson Mejei, in January, shortly before the botched March 2008 local government elections.
Jang later reconstituted the commission in March and appointed Mr. Gabriel Zi as its chairman.
