How We’re Investigating Alleged Pre-filled Result Sheets in Kogi – INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it is currently investigating a report that election results in some polling units in Kogi State have already been filled before the start of the election in the state.

Yiaga Africa, a non-profit civic hub committed to the promotion of democratic governance, claimed that it received a report of pre-filled results sheets discovered in PU 004, Eni Ward of Ogori/Magongo in Kogi state before the commencement of polls in the state.
