INEC declares 30 staff missing – TheNigerialawyer

The electoral commission, INEC, has declared 30 of its staff
missing.

The ad-hoc staff took part in Saturday’s Kogi State governorship
election. They were posted to Olamaboro Local Government Area (LGA)
by the commission.

They were declared missing around 1 a.m. on Sunday during the
final collation of results in the local government.

The missing INEC staff include Presiding Officers (POs) and
Assistant Presiding Officers (APOs) of polling units in Imane ward
1 and 2 of Olamaboro LGA of Kogi State.

Many of the ad-hoc staff used by INEC are corps members of the
NYSC.

Just as the whereabouts of the officials are unknown, results
from the polling units where they served have also been declared
missing.

Announcing the development, the LGA Election Officer, in-charge
of collating and announcing the local government’s results, Garba
Mahmood, said the INEC ad-hoc staff were reported missing after the
observation of some police officers who raised concern that they
were last seen shortly after voting ended at 2 p.m. on
Saturday.

Mr Mahmood said repeated calls to their telephone numbers did
not go through.

police at the Olamaboro collation centre.
