We Don’t Know Whereabouts Of Suspended Adamawa REC – INEC

 

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has revealed it doesn't know the whereabouts of the Hudu Yunusa-Ari, the suspended Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC).

 

This was made public by the spokesman of the electoral commission, Festus Okoye during an appearance on Channel Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday.

 

Okoye stated that the leadership of the Commission summoned the embattled REC to appear at the headquarters but he failed to do so and he also did not pick up his phone when he was called.

 

The INEC spokesman added that the electoral body cannot declare Yunusa-Ari wanted because it is the duty of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to declare him wanted if he is on the run.

 

Okoye said the Commission had written to the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Akali Baba, to investigate the suspended REC for possible prosecution.

 

He added that INEC also wrote the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, with a view to acquainting President Muhammadu Buhari with the unwholesome activities of the REC and possibly reviewing his appointment.
