Part 3: Police fault INEC’s report on Rivers rerun poll



The Nigeria Police has faulted the report purportedly released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) indicting the force in the commission’s findings on the irregularities that bedevilled the December 10, 2016 rerun poll in Rivers State.

A statement yesterday by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Jimoh Moshood, said the “report as quoted is a disservice to the Nigeria Police Force because all the issues raised were discovered by the Joint Investigative Panel and have been dealt with.

A security source told The Guardian that the report issued by INEC is just to douse the tension already created by the indictment of some officials of the electoral body by the panel of investigation commissioned by the Inspector General of Police after the election.


According to Moshood: “The Nigeria Police Force identified and proactively took action against six (6) police officers who were indicted by the Joint Investigation Panel (JIP) report to have compromised, engaged in serious misconduct, misuse of fire arms, and for other conducts in violation of the electoral act and other enabling laws during the Rivers rerun election.
“They were arrested, investigated and subjected to internal disciplinary measures, after being found guilty were dismissed from the Force and paraded before the media on January 6, 2017 and are awaiting prosecution. Other agencies whose personnel were also indicted by the Joint Investigation Panel are expected to do the same to their personnel indicted in the report without any further delay.

“Twenty three (23) INEC Electoral Officers and two (2) administrative officials, who were indicted by the panel were arrested, investigated and total sum of N111, 300,000 confessed to have been collected from Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike was recovered from them. They were granted bail to the Director of Human Resources, INEC Headquarters Abuja,” Moshood said.

Part 2: Rivers rerun: We have not been informed of police panel report – INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it was yet to receive the report of the Police panel that investigated activities surrounding the Dec. 10, 2016 parliamentary re-run polls in Rivers.

The panel, which was constituted by police high command submitted report to the Inspector-General of Police on Tuesday in Abuja.

The report said that N111 million was recovered from 23 INEC officials that participated in the elections.

The recovered cash was displayed during the presentation of the report at Police Headquarters,

INEC’s Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Mr Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that the commission had not been briefed on the report by anybody on it.

He said that when it would see the report and the indictment, INEC would support all processes to prosecute the people allegedly involved the alleged bribery.

Chairman of the panel, Damian Okoro, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, made the allegation while presenting the team’s report to the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, in Abuja on Tuesday.

He alleged that three senior election officials collected N20 million each out of the N360 million allegedly given to key officials by the state governor, Nyesom Wike.

He said the other officials received N15 million each.

According to Okoro, there are some cases of misconduct on the part of some electoral officers, who were compromised in the line of duty

Osaze-Uzzi said “we await the police report; just like everybody saw it on the media that was how we also saw it.

“As at today, they have not communicated to say this is the report.

“We know the panel has submit report to the IG, maybe, he will study it and avail us with the report if need be.”

The director said that the commission would allow the law to take its course on any of its staff members indicted in the alleged bribe.

“If any of our staff has been found culpable, we will deal with him appropriately and then allow the law to take its course.

“If they are charged to court, then normal administrative process will follow.

“If they are convicted, necessary action will be taken. If they are not convicted, we will examine if they have committed any administrative breach.

“If they have committed any administrative breach we will deal with that administratively, while the police will deal with the criminal aspect of it.”

Osaze-Uzzi said that the commission had been cooperating with the special investigative panel and the police on the matter.

“We are determined to weed out any bad egg from the system,” he said

Part 2 a: Rivers Polls: INEC yet to receive police report on its indicted officials

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it was yet to receive the official report of the Police Investigative Panel on the Dec. 10, 2016 Rivers parliamentary re-run elections.

The commission’s Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Mr Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, disclosed this on Tuesday in Abuja in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

The panel’s report submitted to Police authorities on Feb. 7, indicted 23 Electoral Officers, for allegedly collecting monetary inducements to rig the elections.

Out of over N360 million said to have been received by the INEC personnel, the panel publicly displayed N111 million which it recovered from the officials who participated in the polls.

The panel had added that three senior electoral officers collected N20 million each out of the N360 million believed to have been used by the Rivers Government to influence the officials, who conducted the elections.

Osaze-Uzzi also said that he was not aware that the indicted officials had been handed over to INEC for internal disciplinary measures in line with Public Service rules.

“The commission is yet to receive any report of the police investigative panel on the alleged indicted officers.

“The commission, like every other Nigerian, only read the outcome of the investigation in the news.

“What we read was that the officers were going to be handed over to the Attorney-General of the Federation for prosecution.

“I am not aware that the alleged indicted officers have been handed over to INEC either at our Rivers office or headquarters in Abuja for disciplinary actions,’’ he said.

The director, however, reiterated the commission’s commitment to investigating and punishing any of its staff accused or found guilty of receiving gratification or other misconducts to compromise the electoral system.

He said that any INEC official whose strong cases of misconduct had been established would be sanctioned and made as deterrent to others who would want to compromise the process.

“We have different levels of administrative punishments in accordance with the rules establishing the commission for erring officers.
