Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab who has been convicted for terrorism in the United States has appeared in the Edo state gubernatorial election registrar.
Abdulmutallab was sentenced to multiple life imprisonment in the US after he tried to detonate explosives but surprisingly, his portrait appeared in a fake voters register according to Governor Adams Oshiomhole.
NAN reports that the governor raised this alarm during a visit to him by the United States Consul General in Lagos, Mr F John Bray.
The Edo governor said that although the portrait of the convicted criminal carried a Benn name, it cast doubt about the fairness of the election which is largely between the All Progressives Congress candidate, Godwin Obaseki and Pastor Ize Iyamu of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Oshiomhole said:
“The foundation for credible election is the voter’s register. Once the voter’s register is manipulated, then you have problems. “Right now, we have evidence of two versions of voter’s register – the one they have officially distributed and the one that some elements within the ICT in INEC have also produced in Abuja. And what they have done in the past, which we hear they want to re-enact again, is that whereas they will display one voter’s register which is reasonably accurate, there are still some flaws but let me say it is about 85 percent accurate, they also have a fake one which they intend to bring and spring a surprise in certain locations where they believe that they have no chance, and when the voters go there and you find a voter’s register different from the one that you know, there will be confusion in those voting centres. At the end, you may end up having people’s voice level going up and one thing leading to the other, and you could have violence. We will show you those samples between the one that we know and the one we have gotten through our intelligence and I want to give a copy to the embassy, and so you can study it and see it. That, for me, is the only thing I am worried about.Omojuwa
