The Police have granted administrative bail to Hudu Yunusa Ari, the suspended Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC).
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, announced on Friday, May 5.
The Nigeria Police Force hereby confirms that Barr. Hudu Yunusa-Ari, the Suspended Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), who has been detained for interrogation by the Police as part of investigations into allegations of impropriety during the state’s supplementary gubernatorial pools, has been granted administrative bail by the Police while investigations continue.
Adejobi said he is expected to report to the Police Headquarters every weekday while the investigation is ongoing.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) suspended Ari for “illegally” proclaiming a winner in the Adamawa State governorship election.
INEC later wrote to the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, requesting Ari’s urgent arrest and prosecution.
The decision to write the IGP was made at an INEC top-level meeting in Abuja on April 18.
