The Independent National Electoral Commission has announced that it will send a letter to Baba Ahmed, the Inspector General of Police, requesting that Hudu Ari, the resident electoral commissioner for Adamawa State, be looked into and prosecuted.
The decision was made by the commission on Tuesday in Abuja during a technical meeting with national INEC commissioners.
INEC also made the decision to inform President Major General Muhammadu Buhari of the REC’s action in writing to Secretary to the Government of the Federation Boss Mustapha.
According to reports, all of INEC’s National Commissioners arrived early for a meeting behind closed doors at the organization’s Abuja headquarters.
A mere 24 hours had passed since Ari was told to avoid the state office of the commission in Adamawa by the electoral umpire.
The basis for INEC’s move was Yunusa-Ari’s statement that Aisha Dahiru, better known as Binani, was the winner of the All Progressives Congress’ supplemental election for governor on Saturday.
