INEC Sued Over Failure To Prosecute Electoral Offenders In Bayelsa, Kogi, Imo

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has filed a lawsuit against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the failure to arrest and prosecute suspected perpetrators of electoral offences in the recently concluded off-cycle governorship elections in Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa States.

Recall that SERAP had last month asked the Chairman of INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, to identify perpetrators and sponsors of electoral offences in the November 11 governorship elections in the three states.
