It has come to many Nigerians as a shock how the suspended Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Hudu Yunusa-Ari, suddenly vanished into tin air, as the call for his persecution intensifies.
What is even more shocking is that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denied knowledge of his whereabouts.
The spokesman of the commission, Festus Okoye, made this known during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday.
The Summons
Okoye says the leadership of the Commission summoned the embattled REC to appear at the headquarters but he failed to do so.
He also did not pick up his phone when he was called.
The INEC spokesman added that the electoral body cannot declare Yunusa-Ari wanted.
To him, it is the duty of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to declare him wanted if he is on the run.
Possible Prosecution
Okoye says the Commission had written to the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Akali Baba on the Adamawa election issue.
