Several
names of foreigners have been found in Nigeria's voter's register in
the possession of INEC, according to a recent public announcement.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it has
ordered the removal of the names of 190 non-Nigerians from the country’s
Voter Register as part of measures to clean up the register.
The commission disclosed this in a statement issued by its Director
of Voter Education and Publicity, Mr Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi yesterday in
Abuja.
The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) recently retrieved several
Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and National Identity cards from foreigners
who were alleged to have registered as voters.
Osaze-Uzzi reiterated INEC commitment in ensuring that the Voter Register was free from unqualified registrations.
