INEC refutes claims of missing voters’ register in Lagos wards
INEC urged members of the public to disregard the report, insisting that the exercise was conducted across all 245 wards in the state.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lagos State has dismissed a media report alleging that the register of voters was not displayed at some registration centres in Alimosho and Shomolu Local Government Areas.
The commission clarified that the display of the voters’ register was carried out across all 245 Registration Areas (wards) in Lagos State, including those in Alimosho and Shomolu.
In a statement issued by its Head of Voter Education and Publicity, Esther Emeh, INEC described the allegation as false.
The clarification followed a report by Arise TV claiming that the voters’ register was not displayed at some registration centres in the affected local government areas.
INEC urged members of the public to disregard the report, insisting that the exercise was conducted across all 245 wards in the state.
“The news alleging that the display of the Register of Voters did not take place at some Registration Area centres in Alimosho and Shomolu Local Government Areas is false,” she said.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the display of the Register of Voters was conducted across all 245 Registration Areas (Wards) in Lagos State, including all Registration Areas in Alimosho and Shomolu Local Government Areas.”
The commission urged residents to obtain accurate information through its official communication channels.
It also called on media organisations and practitioners to verify information with credible and authoritative sources before publication.
“Responsible journalism and accurate reporting are essential to preventing the spread of misinformation and maintaining public confidence in the electoral process,” the statement added.
INEC said it remained committed to transparency, credible electoral processes and the timely dissemination of accurate information to the public.
