The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has disputed that its chairman, Dr. Mahmood Yakubu, owns a house that was attacked in Bauchi State.
On Saturday, the commission issued a statement signed by Yakubu’s Chief Press Secretary, Rotimi Oyekanmi.
Oyekanmi stated that his principal had no property and that the rumors are the result of a desperate smear effort.

The statement read: “The property being purportedly attacked by some youths in a video clip circulating on the social media does not belong to the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.
“The INEC Chairman does not own the property in question in either Bauchi or anywhere else around the world.
“This narrative is indeed the latest in the series of desperate smear campaign efforts by mischief makers. The public should disregard it.”
