The INEC resident commissioner in Taraba State,
Alhaji Ahmed Makama confirmed that an Electoral
Officer in Ibbi local government area of Taraba
state is being held at the police station
headquarters in Jalingo for allegedly collecting
N20m bribe from a politician in the area so as to
manipulate results.

The Electoral Officer who was responsible for the
Saturday presidential and National Assembly
elections was manhandled by angry youths of the
area for collecting bribe from a politician in Ibbi
local government to change the result of the state
house of representatives elections within the area.
According to reports , the elections in Nwonyo 11
ward of Ibbi local government area was suspended
by INEC as a result of the crisis that broke out
between youths of the area and the Electoral
officer on Saturday.

Alhaji Makama said the affected Electoral officer
has been replaced by a Head of Department of the
commission to conduct the elections.

Makama said “Yes the Electoral Officer in Ibbi was
allegedly arrested over collection of money from a
politician and he is under police custody. I informed
the national chairman and he asked me not to
secure his bail and I am not going to do that until
the police concludes the investigation,”
