The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) said it has received a letter from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to investigate Barr. Hudu Yunusa-Ari, the Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), for his role during the Adamawa State supplementary elections.

Force PRO, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi in a statement last night, said the Police authority “is in receipt of a letter dated 18th April 2023 from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), detailing the alleged impropriety of the actions of one Barr. Hudu Yunusa-Ari, the Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), during the recently concluded supplementary elections and calling on the Police to investigate and possibly prosecute the REC for his actions. “

He also confirmed that the inspector-general of police, IGP Usman Baba, has directed an investigative team to work in collaboration with the INEC to expedite action on the contents of the letter.

The inspector-general of police while expressing the commitment of the NPF 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.
