The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Lagos State Chapter, has stated that its attention has been drawn to a report on ARISE News Thursday which alleged that the display of the Register of Voters did not take place at some Registration Area centres in Alimosho and Shomolu Local Government Areas.

Dismissing the report, Esther Emeh,

Head, Voter Education and Publicity Department, in a statement said that the Commission  categorically states that the report is false and does not reflect the actual situation.
