The Inspector-General of Police, Alkali Baba Ahmed, has
ordered the team investigating the embattled Resident Electoral Commissioner
(REC) in Adamawa State, Barr. Hudu Yunusa-Ari, to expedite actions.
This is as the Nigeria Police Force acknowledged the receipt
of a letter dated April 18, 2023 from the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC).
Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the
letter from INEC had detailed the alleged impropriety of the actions of
Yunusa-Ari during the April 15 supplementary elections in Adamawa and calling
on the police to investigate and possibly prosecute the REC for his actions.
According to Adejobi, the IG had directed a team to work
with INEC “to expedite action on the contents of the letter.”
While expressing the commitment of the NPF to upholding
democratic values, Adejobi said Baba had assured that the police would leave no
stone unturned in unraveling the remote causes of the “unwholesome conduct of
the REC.”
He added that all persons fingered in the course of
investigations would be brought to book.
Recall that the suspended Adamawa REC had during the
collation of votes illegally declared a winner without waiting for the
conclusion of the electoral process.
His action was immediately declared null and void by the INEC headquarters
