He said the suspects were apprehended on Wednesday evening by some police officers attached to the Metro Area Command in the metropolis.
According to Haruna, the suspects during interrogation, said they came from Jigawa State, adding that the materials were meant for sensitisation and orientation purposes.
“The ballot papers are specimen so they are not genuine ballot papers,” he stated.
He disclosed that investigation was still ongoing as the case had since been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department.
