The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denied taking money from the candidate of Labour Party in last November governorship election in Imo State, Senator Nathan Achonu.
The electoral umpire, which made the denial while reacting to an allegation by Senator Achonu, said it never took any money from the candidate, challenging him to provide the bank accounts he paid into or name the officials he paid.
Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Mr Rotimi Oyekanmi said it is not in the character of INEC to “extort” individuals.
