The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has removed a Plateau Returning Officer, Prof. Musa Izam, over dereliction of duty.

Prof. Musa Izam who was the Collation Officer assigned to Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State, reportedly tried to flee without declaring the results of Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly elections, but was apprehended by youths in the area, who forced him back to the collation centre.

The Physics Lecturer at University of Jos who started the collation of the results brought from the local government’s Wards on Sunday, told party agents, INEC officials and observers that he needed a little time to ease himself. However after he tried fleeing to Jos,  some youths who saw him leaving the centre, quickly mobilised themselves and apprehended him. 

Mr Osaretin Imahiyereobo, Head, Voter Education, of INEC in Plateau, who confirmed that the commission has removed the Plateau Returning Officer, said that they had to act fast to avoid delay in the collation exercise.

“We had to remove him because he was drunk and could not perform the assignment. We are waiting for him to come to Jos and explain why he behaved the way he did," he said.
