Contrary to reports that three Staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, were arrested by Police for creating Illegal Registration Unit inside the Church Hall of St. Bridget Catholic Church, Ijeshatedo, Lagos and their arrest confirmed by the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos State INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Olusegun Agbaje has debunked the report.

Agbaje said it was false and a figment of the imagination of rumour peddlers to discredit the INEC on the Voters Registration Exercise taking place in the 20 Local Government Areas and other designated areas in the State.

Making this clarification Saturday, 30th July, 2022, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, Agbaje said: “All my staff and machines are complete. No member of INEC staff was arrested anywhere in Lagos on Friday.”

INEC had, on Friday, debunked reported invasion of the same CVR centre by thugs who allegedly carted away its enrolment machines.

There is a huge surge in most voter enrolment centres in the State ahead of the July 31 CVR deadline.
