Woman arrested with six voter ID cards

The Graphic in another front-page capture says the Eastern Regional Police have arrested a 31-year-old woman at Akim Oda for allegedly possessing six thumb-printed voter identity cards.

Esi Sarfoa was arrested when she allegedly gave one of the cards bearing the name, Faustina Mensah, to a 17-year-old girl to exchange it for a photo one.

A source close to the Regional Police Command, which made this known to the Graphic said on September 21, Esi was spotted with a number of laminated and non-laminated cards, when registered voters were having their photographs taken in a school at Sorodae, a suburb of Oda.

Having sighted the 17-year-old girl, she gave her one and asked her to get it processed by the cameramen but the girl, fearing its consequence informed her elder sister leading to the arrest.
