During an interview with Daakyehene Ofosu Agyeman on Adinkra Radio, New York, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe stated, "We detected the theft by ourselves as a Commission. We have national security operatives, police officers, and the Commission’s own security officers where these machines are kept. So when we detected the theft we informed the National Security."
"And we told them who we suspect may be behind the theft and those suspects have been picked up and are being interrogated for more than two weeks now. The last time I checked, about 5 people were being investigated. We gave them two suspects but their investigations have led to further arrests."
Dr. Serebour Quaicoe emphasized that the stolen laptops do not contain any electoral information and are incapable of influencing the integrity or outcome of elections.
"The laptops after usage by the EC goes to the end of life mode, which deletes every electoral material from the machine and therefore cannot be used to manipulate voter registration or elections," he added.
