The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says it has not suspended its 202 staff members indicted for election malpractices by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s, EFCC, report.
INEC’s Director of Publicity, Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, disclosed this in an interview with the newsmen in Abuja .
Oluwole said that the report stating that the affected staffs had been suspended by the commission was false.
He said there was no way the commission would have suspended the staff members based on the allegation until they were properly investigated.
Oluwole stated that the commission was still in the process of investigating the allegation and interviewing all affected in line with the principle of fair hearing.
The director, however, said that the commission was trying to expedite the investigation, adding that the decision would be made known to the public.
