The Independent Electoral Commission said the report that some miscreants carted away its Voter Enrollment Devices in the Surulere area of Lagos State was not true.
The commission’s Resident Electoral Commissioner, in Lagos, Mr Olusegun Agbaje, debunked the report in a statement on Friday.
He said, “The false video posted by one Amb. Princess Okogie Idimudia alleging that Hoodlums invaded one St. Bridgette Catholic Church, Surulere Lagos State carried away registration machines meant for the registration of voters at the Church on July 29, 2022, was a needless distraction.
“The office has investigated and found that it is not true as no INEC Voter Enrollment Devices machine was deployed to the said Church on July 29, 2022.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the Commission does not use worship centres’ premises for registration and all the IEVDs deployed to different continuous Voters Registration Centres across Lagos State are all intact and are still being used at the time of issuing the statement”.
Agbaje called on Nigerians to ignore the fake video as INEC is working to register eligible voters by the said closing date on July 31, 2022.
