“Viral photos of Kano underage voters from Kenya” – INEC committee

INEC has said Nigerians have no cause for worry, that the photo of underage voters purportedly at the Kano LG elections last month that went viral were actually photos from Kenya.

Abubakar Nauche, chairman of the committee set up by Mahmood Yakubu’s INEC to investigate the case, said there is no evidence that the pictures were from the Kano exercise.

Nauche said on Friday in Abuja, “From the interaction with civil society organisations and media, no evidence of underage voting has been presented.”

“We have discussed with you media men, but none of you said he saw any underage voter in the line on election day.
