Earlier today, President Bola Tinubu sacked three INEC RECs from office for misconduct.
Suspended Sokoto Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Nura Ali, received a $150,000 bribe from politicians to manipulate the 2023 general elections in the state, a report from the Office of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and the State Security Services (SSS) disclosed.
Mr Ali is one of three electoral commissioners suspended by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in 2023 over allegations of electoral malpractice.
The other affected commissioners are Hudu Yunusa-Ari (Adamawa) and Ike Uzochukwu (Abia).
