The US government on Tuesday asked the Nigerian government to hold accountable and bring to justice persons found guilty of voter intimidation during the governorship elections.
“We call on Nigerian authorities to hold accountable and bring to justice any individuals found to have ordered or carried out efforts to intimidate voters and suppress voting during the election process,” the US embassy in Abuja said in a press statement.
PREMIUM TIMES reported that Saturday’s governorship elections were characterised by widespread violence, voter intimidation and suppression, according to media reports and election observer groups.
