The Electoral Commission has debunked rumors of issuing a voters’ ID card to an Asian man.
The image of the supposed ID card is circulating on social media with the name Nana Kweku Okai Brako.
The commission says, the supposed card is a photoshopped card which was issued to a ghanaian male.
It says the public should disregard the false rumor and that it was working with the police to find out how the card came about.
Read the full statement below:
The attention of the Electoral Commission has been drawn to a Voters ID card making the rounds on social media. The card that bears the photograph of an Asian male has the ID No:2809012504.
It has been photoshopped to superimpose the image of the Asian male onto the face of card.
The Commission did not issue the card to the Asian male. The card was originally issued to Nana Kweku Okai Brako.
All of the photographs on the EC Voters ID cards have a blue background. In the photoshopped ID card, the background of the photograph with the Asian male is cream. We call on the public to disregard it.
We are working with the Police to investigate how the card belonging to Nana Kweku Okai Brako was photoshopped and circulated.
