The Lagos State Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed viral reports that one of its staff was arrested over alleged creation of illegal voter enrollment centre in the state.
In a viral video on Twitter seen by Truthlive.net, some INEC in the state said to have been arrested by Police officers from the police station in Ijeshatedo for allegedly conspiring with St. Brigigs Catholic Church, Ijeshatedo, Lagos, to create an illegal Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) centre in the church.
Reacting to the video, the Lagos State INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr Olusegun Agbaje said“All my staff and machines are complete. No member of INEC staff was arrested anywhere in Lagos on Friday.”
In the same vein, INEC had on Friday, debunked reports that its enrollment machines were stolen by thugs and hoodlums who stormed their CVR center.
Meanwhile, ahead of July 31 CVR deadline, several centers across the state have been flooded by those who want to meet up with the deadline.
