The INEC Assistant Director on Voter Education and Publicity, Prisillia Sule, made this known in an interview with newsmen in Benin on Monday.
Sule said party agents of the 19 political parties participating in the September 28 governorship election had been invited to witness the retrieval of the sensitive materials at the CBN.
She also said INEC headquarters had deployed National and Resident Electoral Commissioners to assist the Edo State REC, Sam Olumekun, to conduct the election.
