The Inspector-General of Police (IG), Usman Alkali, has ordered an investigation and possible prosecution of the suspended Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Hudu Yunusa-Ari.
This follows the receipt of an April 18 letter from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), detailing the alleged impropriety of Ari’s actions.
A statement on Sunday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said IG Alkali had directed an investigative team to work with INEC in the investigation and persecution of Ari.
“The IG Usman Alkali has directed an investigative team to work in collaboration with the INEC to expedite action on the contents of the letter.
“The IG, while expressing the commitment of the police to upholding democratic values, assures Nigerians and the international community that the police will leave no stone unturned in unraveling the remote causes of the unwholesome conduct of the REC, as well as ensure that all persons fingered in the course of investigations are brought to book,” the statement reads.
