The Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kogi State, Hale Longpet strongly denounced the recent seizure of the INEC headquarters in Lokoja, the state capital.
A mob barricaded all entrances to the office, obstructing staff from conducting their routine duties and access to the premises.
A press release signed by the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, stated that “the siege also prevented attorneys representing political parties involved in the recent off-cycle governorship election from inspecting documents/materials used in the election”.
