Well-known human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has stated that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, should ensure that the officers apprehended for electoral offenses be charged before the relevant courts immediately.
According to Falana, the offending officers included those arrested by security agencies for disrupting the electoral process, announcing fake results, forging electoral results, and berately barring individuals from voting.
Falana aired his opinion during an interview with Channels Television.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, had also expressed hope that the exercise would teach the authorities enough as according to him, INEC needs to go back to the drawing board and review the management of the elections as well as the role of ad hoc staff.
