The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that it did not issue identity cards for security personnel bearing the name and logo of the Commission with the inscription “Complete Access” boldly written in red at the bottom of it.
For clarity purposes, the Commission said that the identity card did not emanate from the Commission, adding that identity cards for security personnel on election duty were issued by relevant security agencies and not the Commission.
INEC raised the alarm in a statement titled: Fake Identity Card for Security Personnel on Election Duty’ issued by the national commissioner and chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Barr. Festus Okoye, in Abuja on Friday.
Okoye said anyone bearing an identity card allegedly issued by the Commission for security personnel can only be on illegal duty.
He, therefore, said such a person is liable to arrest and prosecution.
“The public is alerted to this diabolical action of some misdirected elements and to report any such persons to the security agencies,” he added.
