Following the political drama going on in Adamawa state, the Independent National Electoral Commission has asked the Inspector General of Police Usman Baba Alkali to arrest the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC ) for Adamawa State, Barr. Yunusa Hudu Ari.

This was part of the resolutions of the commission after rising from its meeting held in Abuja.
In a statement released on its verified twitter handle Tuesday afternoon, INEC stated thus:
“At its meeting today, 18th April 2023, the Commission discussed matters arising from the Adamawa Governorship election and decided to: 1. Write to the Inspector-General of Police for the immediate investigation and possible prosecution of the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Adamawa State, Barr. Hudu Yunusa Ari.
“Request the Secretary to the Government of the Federation to draw the attention of the appointing authority to the unwholesome behaviour of the REC for further action.
“The collation process shall resume at a time to be determined by the Returning Officer. Detailed official statement will follow shortly.”
According to reports on the News Agency of Nigeria NAN, revealed that Ari who had been suspended by INEC had declared the candidate of the All Progressive Congress in the Adamawa state election, Senator Aisha Binani, winner of the Adamawa Governorship election in what was considered an illegal move.
The commission swiftly reversed the declaration while saying the exercise had not been concluded.
