The commission in a statement signed by a National Commissioner and Member of Information and Voter Education Committee, Muhammed Kudu Haruna said that the Commission has received reports from their officials in Kogi State on incidences of electoral malpractices, particularly the incident of result sheets completed before voting.

The statement reads “Reports indicate that the incidents occurred in Adavi, Ajaokuta, Ogori/Magongo, Okehi and Okene Local Government Areas. The most serious incidents occurred in Ogori/Magongo, affecting nine of 10 Registration Areas”.

“This is entirely unacceptable. Any result not emanating from the Commission’s process in the Polling Units will not be accepted”.

“The Commission is determined not to reward bad behaviour. Consequently, the election in the nine Wards in Ogori/Magongo LGA (Eni, Okibo, Okesi, Ileteju, Aiyeromi, Ugugu, Obinoyin, Obatgben and Oturu) is at this moment suspended. The incidences in the other Local Government Areas are being thoroughly investigated, and the outcome, including the way forward will be announced within the next 24hours”.
