The Independent National Electoral Commission has charged the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Adamawa state, Hudu Ari, to court.
A statement issued on Thursday by the National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee of the commission, Festus Okoye, said it had reviewed the case file sent to the commission by the police and had filed a six-count charge against Ari.
The Commission confirmed the receipt of case files from the Nigeria Police following the conclusion of the investigation into alleged electoral offences during the 2023 General Election, including the one involving the Resident Electoral Commissioner deployed to Adamawa State, Hudu Ari.
He added that the case would be heard at the Adamawa State High Court on July 12, 2023.
The police had arrested Ari over his conduct during the governorship election in Adamawa. He was subsequently granted bail.
