Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello’s name has disappeared from the voters register after being accused of double registration, The Nation reports.
Bello’s name has been delisted, but the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has a photograph showing how he was registered at the Government House, Lokoja.
The Nation said the commission has raised an investigative committee to unravel the “mystery surrounding the alleged double registration by the governor”.
Heads may roll in the Kogi State office of INEC for the alleged “untoward activities of some of our staff”.
A source who pleaded anonymity told The Nation that: “The INEC management has raised an investigative team to look at the controversy over the allegation of double registration by the governor.
“It is however curious that the investigation has assumed a new dimension. The commission has the photograph of the registration of the governor but his name is not on the list of the CVR for that day in question. The name has disappeared.”
INEC alleged that the governor first registered in Abuja in January 2011 and reregistered on May 23, 2017 at the Government House, Lokoja but the Governor on Friday denied the multiple registration.
