The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has described the purported attack on the property belonging to the INEC chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu by some youths in a video clip circulating on the social media as desperate smear campaign efforts by mischief makers.

In a statement made available to LEADERSHIP Sunday signed by the chief press secretary to the INEC chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, the commission debunked the insinuation saying that the INEC chairman does not own the property in question in either Bauchi or anywhere else around the world.

He urged the public to disregard the news.

“This narrative is indeed the latest in the series of desperate smear campaign efforts by mischief makers. The public should disregard it,” he added.

Similarly, the Police in Bauchi have refuted claims making the rounds that thugs attacked the residence of the INEC chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu.

LEADERSHIP gathered that the house of the INEC boss which is within Bauchi metropolis was alleged to be under siege by angry thugs. 

But the Bauchi Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Ahmed Mohammed Wakil denied the attack in a statement made available to reporters in Bauchi.

“The attention of the Bauchi State Police Command has been drawn to a viral video making rounds in sections of the media purporting that the residence of the chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was attacked in Bauchi by some ‘angry Nigerians.’

“We wish to clarify that such an incident never occurred in the state as the report is fake and should be disregarded by Nigerians. 

“Being mindful of the negative impacts of disinformation on public peace, and security, particularly during the post-election period, the commissioner of police CP Aminu Alhassan psc (+) has immediately ordered a discreet investigation to unravel the origin of the viral video and to bring anyone found behind the fabrication of the video to face the wrath of the law,” he said.
