Barely three months to the 2023 general election, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has blamed its failure to prosecute electoral offenders on the inability of the National Assembly to pass the National Electoral Offences Commission Bill, 2022.
Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, who disclosed this at an interactive meeting with editors in Lagos on Saturday, said the passage of the Bill would empower the commission to prosecute those who go about destroying INEC’s properties and kidnapping its staff.
