The Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) said it has ordered the
removal of the names of 190 non-Nigerians
from the country’s Voter Register as part of
measures to clean up the register.
The commission disclosed this in a statement
issued by its Director of Voter Education and
Publicity, Mr Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi yesterday in
Abuja.
The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS)
recently retrieved several Permanent Voter
Cards (PVCs) and National Identity cards from
foreigners who were alleged to have
registered as voters.
Osaze-Uzzi reiterated INEC commitment in
ensuring that the Voter Register was free from
unqualified registrations. (NAN)
