THE Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will “soon” take action on the case of suspended Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Adamawa State, Hudu Yunusa-Ari.
INEC National Commissioner, Festus Okoye, who made this known yesterday, said the police have concluded investigations on the matter.
Okoye also said the electoral umpire has enough proof to establish a case against Yunusa-Ari.
“I am aware that the police have concluded investigations and I am aware that in the next few weeks, Nigerians will be informed of what will happen,” he said.
“Under the law, it is the responsibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission to prosecute him (Ari) if a prima facie case has made out against him.”
The INEC spokesman said the police and the electoral commission were in talks during the probe of the embattled INEC official and a decision will be made “very soon”.
“There has been some level of interface between the Nigeria Police Force and the Independent National Electoral Commission and the commission was involved in some of the processes leading to the investigation. Very soon, the commission will take action relating to the Adamawa REC,” he said.
