According to the Independent National Electoral Commission, it is removing information about registered voters who are underage.
Festus Okoye, the commission’s commissioner for information and voter education, made this statement late on Friday during an interview with Channels TV.
When asked what the commission was doing in regards to non-Nigerians and minors voting, Okoye responded, “On the subject of the minors voting, this commission published the whole registered voters in Nigeria in different local government areas and all the registration areas.

“People have made their objections, complaints and claims. The commission is presently cleaning up the voter register. The cleaning up is an ongoing exercise and we are going to try our best to make sure that we go into the 2023 general election with a voter register Nigerians will be proud of.
“In terms of non-Nigerians voting, only validly registered voters will be in the position to vote in the 2023 general election. Any time Immigration Service sees any non-Nigerian with a voter’s card and claims to be a Nigeria, they should arrest him and make the card available to INEC and we cancel those registrations.
“Therefore, Nigerians should be on the lookout. If any non-Nigerian approaches any of the polling unit, they should alert security agencies.”
