INEC writes police, requests investigation of Adamawa REC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has requested that the Nigeria Police Force investigate the role played by the suspended Adamawa Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Hudu Yunusa-Ari, in the state’s governorship election.

Yunusa-Ari had last Sunday declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Aisha ‘Binani’ Dahiru, as the winner of the election with results of only 10 out of the 21 local government areas in the state already collated by the commission.

INEC, however, declared the announcement null and void and ordered the REC to stay away from election duties in Adamawa.
