Authorities of the Independent National Electoral Commission have asked the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Ondo State, Mr. Akinyemi Orebiyi, to put necessary machinery in motion for the purpose of prosecuting those who were involved in multiple registration in the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

No fewer than 14, 000 people were discovered to have been involved in multiple registration during the registration of voters carried out by the commission in the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Administrative Secretary of INEC in the state, Dr Samson Awujoola, who stated this at a stakeholders\u2019 meeting organised by the agency in Akure, said there was a directive from the national headquarters of the agency that all the affected persons should be prosecuted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Awujoola, at the meeting, read a text message sent to his mobile phone while the meeting was in progress, on the proposed prosecution.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe action was in demonstration of the determination of the commission to ensure the implementation of one man one vote concept.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Awujoola said it was indicated in the text message that INEC would be sending its lawyers to Akure, to collect the list of the affected persons for prosecution in accordance with the provision of the Electoral Act.<\/span><\/p>\n

The agency had penultimate week, disclosed that it discovered 14,000 people who engaged in multiple registration during the last exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n

The administrative secretary said apart from the fact that INEC had deleted the names of those involved in multiple registration from the register, which means that they will not be able to vote, they will be arrested if they get to polling units to cause any problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
