A former Resident Electoral Commissioner for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Akwa Ibom State Mike Igini, has accused some staff of the electoral body of registering underage voters.
The former INEC REC, who said that those involved in the recent INEC registration process are all staff of the commission which makes it easy to trace them, called for the prosecution of culprits.
Igini cited a case in Akwa Ibom where an Information and Communications Technology staffer of INEC used his office to register underage voters.
Igini further blamed the underage registration on collapse of values in the society, berating parents who allow their under-aged children to register as voters.
He commended the commission for the publication of the voters’ register, saying that it is the first time in history for it to be published on INEC website.
