This is as the Nigeria Police Force acknowledged the receipt of a letter dated April 18, 2023 from the Independent National Electoral Commission .
Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the letter from INEC had detailed the alleged impropriety of the actions of Yunusa-Ari during the April 15 supplementary elections in Adamawa and calling on the police to investigate and possibly prosecute the REC for his actions. According to Adejobi, the IG had directed a team to work with INEC “to expedite action on the contents of the letter.”
