Four men found to be in possession of about 500 Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) were on Saturday arrested in Ogbomoso, Oyo State.

They were intercepted by residents at Orita Sekoni area of the town following a tip-off.

The suspects occupied a Honda Accord car with registration number AR 892 LUY when they were caught.

The incident led to a pandemonium in the area as some irate youths attempted to mob them but the timely intervention of policemen saved  the suspects.

According to an eyewitness, the driver of the car managed to get away.

On arrival, the policemen were said to have shot sporadically into the air to scare the mob away from the scene to arrest the suspects.

When contacted, the Police spokesperson in the state, Adekunle Ajisebutu, said he had not yet been briefed.
