According to Dazang, the duo were found hale and hearty.
He said: “I am exceedingly glad to report that INEC Administrative Secretary in Zamfara, Mr. Garba Lawal just informed me that our ad hoc staff who went missing have been found, hale and hearty.
“He said that they ran for their dear lives during a commotion and in the process could not retrace their ways back. May Almighty God be praised for this wonderful development.”
Dazang applauded the state Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), the administrative secretary and security agencies for their efforts in finding the missing ad hoc staff.
