- IGP tasks investigative team to expedite action
The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the receipt of a letter dated April 18, 2023 from the Independent National Electoral Commission detailing the alleged impropriety of the actions of one Hudu Yunusa-Ari, the Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner, during the recently concluded supplementary elections in Adamawa State and calling on the Police to investigate and possibly prosecute the REC for his actions.
Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said in a statement on Sunday that the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has directed an investigative team to work in collaboration with the INEC to expedite action on the contents of the letter.
According to Adejobi, the IGP, “while expressing the commitment of the NPF to upholding democratic values, assures Nigerians and the international community, that the Police will leave no stone unturned in unraveling the remote causes of the unwholesome conduct of the REC as well as ensure that all persons fingered in the course of investigations are brought to book.”
