By Nimot Olawale
The Independent National Electoral Commission has expressed worries that if attacks on its facilities persist into January 2023, it could affect the conduct of the general elections.
National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, INEC, Festus Okoye, said this.
Okoye spoke at a workshop on Political Violence and Election Security organised by the National Defence College on Monday in Abuja.
Okoye said the commission had recorded some reverses in states where the attacks took place, including destruction of ballot boxes and other election material, as well as Permanent Voter Cards.
