THE Independent National Electoral Commission has asked the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali, to arrest and prosecute, Barr. Hudu Yunusa-Ari, the resident electoral commissioner in Adamawa.

INEC also resolved to write the Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, Mr Boss Mustapha with a view to acquainting President Muhammadu Buhari with the “unwholesome” activities of the REC and possibly reviewing his appointment.

The decisions were a fallout of the Commission’s meeting on Tuesday in Abuja.

It added that the collation process in Adamawa shall resume at a time to be determined by the Returning Officer.

“Write to the Inspector-General of Police for the immediate investigation and possible prosecution of the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Adamawa State, Barr. Hudu Yunusa Ari.

“Request the Secretary to the Government of the Federation to draw the attention of the appointing authority to the unwholesome behaviour of the REC for further action.

“The collation process shall resume at a time to be determined by the Returning Officer”, the commission stated.
