The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lagos State on Saturday said its officials were not arrested over alleged creation of illegal voter enrollment centre as were being reported.
INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Lagos state, Mr Olusegun Agbaje, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) .
Agbaje described as fake news the report of the arrest of its officials at Ijeshatedo for allegedly conspiring with St. Brigigs Catholic Church, Ijeshatedo, Lagos, to create an illegal Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) centre in the church.
“All my staff and machines are complete. No member of INEC staff was arrested anywhere in Lagos on Friday,” the REC said.
