The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, Professor Mahmud Yakubu, says most attacks carried out on the commission’s facilities across the country have nothing to do with the 2023 elections.
Professor Yakubu disclosed this during an investigative hearing organised by the House of Representatives Ad-hoc committee.
According to the INEC boss, most of the attacks occur because the facilities are soft targets, located in remote areas that are difficult to secure by the nation’s overstretched security agencies.
The chairman said from 2019 to date, fifty INEC facilities have been attacked and materials destroyed.
