A group, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), on Wednesday stormed the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja to demand peaceful, free, and fair elections in Imo, Bayelsa, and Kogi states.

HURIWA, in a letter addressed to INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, and read out to journalists on Tuesday, urged INEC to uphold the highest standards of transparency and accountability and to ensure that the collations and announcement of election results are conducted transparently and verifiably.
