Okoye said that is the responsibility of the Nigerian Police to declare Ari wanted.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that it has no idea of the whereabouts of the suspended Resident Electoral Commissioner of Adamawa State, Hudu Ari, since his infamous action during the supplementary governorship election in the state.

Ari stirred controversy when he announced the supplementary governorship election results in Adamawa State on Sunday while collation was not yet concluded.

“We don’t know where he is because, after this particular incident, the Commission wrote him and also called him on the phone. He never returned any of the calls, he never answered any of the calls.

“We asked him to report to the Commission on Sunday we didn’t see him, we asked him to report on Monday we didn’t see him. So up till this moment, he has not reported and we don’t know his whereabouts,” INEC National Commissioner Festus Okoye said on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday.

Asked if he thinks Ari will be declared wanted for failing to report to the Commission or answer its calls, Okoye said that is the responsibility of the Nigerian Police.

“Well, that is the responsibility of the Nigerian police. If they feel that his presence is absolutely needed during the investigation and he is nowhere to be found, it is their prerogative and discretion to declare him wanted,” he said.

After suspending the REC, INEC reported his case to President Muhammadu Muhammadu Buhari, who on Thursday approved Ari’s suspension, pending the completion of an investigation by the Inspector General of Police on the conduct/actions of the REC during the Supplementary election in Adamawa State.

The INEC National Commissioner said that the Commission had received a report from the Inspector General of Police and has commenced the process of prosecuting the controversial Adamawa REC.

“We wrote to the Inspector General of Police and Secretary to the Government of the Federation. We have received a response from the Inspector General of Police and they have already commenced an investigation.

“My understanding is that the moment the Inspector General of Police concludes the investigation regarding the REC and every other individual who is involved and a prima facie case is established against the REC the file will be made available to the commission and the commission will begin prosecution of the REC,” he added.

There we go again. We will we outgrowth this type of stories

Lol Baba don enter Niger Republic...

When mask men laid siege to National Assembly to help few Apc Senators that want to impeach Saraki they said he was not around.

APC show of shame in Adamawa he was not around. Apc people thinks that all us are fools in nigeria.

The power from above sent him to do what he did so dont expect the people that sent him the message to arrest him even if the guy is in nigeria.

I thought i saw a picture of him entering private jet yesterday...well Naija na pure cruise...that man will get away with this and nothing will happen.

You have tipped him off and asked him to leave the country.

Maybe he also has a guinea passport and has used it to japa

He should refuse to accept the suspension

Let them go to court simple

Hope he didn't commit suicide?

Hope he's not in Binani's bedroom enjoying sallah.
It still baffles me how an amount of money will make a man lose his entire life stewardship. There is more to it!
