The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reacted to the outrage trailing the irregularities in the preliminary voters’ register.
The commission had published the preliminary register of voters’ for the 2023 elections across local government areas and on its website.
However, since the release of the voter register, some Nigerians have taken to social media with snapshots of sections of the register showing pictures of persons who appear to be below the age of 18.
Some of the snapshots posted also showed what appear to be multiple registrations in states like Adamawa, Borno and Yobe.
Reacting to the development, INEC spokesman, Festus Okoye, said the commission was aware and cases of infractions will be thoroughly investigated and those culpable will be disciplined.
