INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION
PRESS STATEMENT
RE: ALLEGED MISUSE OF AUTHORISED ACCESS CREDENTIALS AND UNAUTHORISED DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION FROM THE COMMISSION’S CONTINUOUS VOTER REGISTRATION (CVR) DATABASE
The attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been drawn to allegations currently circulating on social media and in some sections of the media regarding the alleged unauthorised access to the Commission's Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) database and the subsequent publication of information on a candidate in the recent primaries of a political party in the Federal Capital Territory.
The Commission takes this allegation seriously and has immediately commenced a thorough investigation to establish the facts surrounding the incident.
As part of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise nationwide, authorised INEC Registration Officers were granted controlled access to specific components of the CVR system to enable them register new applicants, process requests for transfer of registration and update voter records where necessary. Such access is restricted to official duties only and is withdrawn at the conclusion of the exercise.
The audit trail from the preliminary investigation has enabled the Commission to identify the user account through which the information was accessed. Accordingly, relevant personnel have been questioned, and all units connected with the incident are cooperating fully with the investigation.
The Commission is also examining all technical, administrative and operational factors associated with the matter in order to establish individual responsibility and determine the circumstances surrounding the use of those credentials and identify any breach of internal access-control protocols before taking appropriate action against anyone involved.
Preliminary findings from the Commission's audit trail so far, however, indicate that there was no external breach of the CVR database, no hacking incident, and no unauthorised external access to the Commission's ICT infrastructure. Rather, the information in question was accessed through valid user credentials assigned to personnel participating in the ongoing CVR exercise but released without authority.
The incident under investigation relates to the retrieval of a specific voter record and does not indicate any compromise of the Commission's broader voter registration infrastructure or the personal data of over 90 million registered voters.
The Commission wishes to state categorically that it takes the security, confidentiality and integrity of voter data with the utmost seriousness and remains committed to transparency, institutional integrity, and the protection of voters' personal information.
Furthermore, the Department of State Services (DSS), on its own accord, has commenced an independent investigation into the matter. The Commission will continue to cooperate fully with all relevant security agencies and will not hesitate to refer any person found culpable for appropriate legal action.
Members of the public and the media are therefore urged to disregard unfounded speculations while investigations remain ongoing. The Commission will continue to keep the public informed of its final findings and any measures taken in response to the incident in due course.

Michael Jackson becomes the first and only act in history to earn a new Hot 100 hit in each of the last six consecutive decades.
1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.
Adorable moment as an 85-year-old Nigerian grandmother insists that her 100-year-old husband must follow her to their backyard farm in the United States, where they are based😂♥️🥰
The concept of being a black woman living in a predominantly black country but choosing a white sperm donor so you can have a mixed race child.
Can’t tell if it’s mental illness, colorism, low racial self esteem or all 3.
MICHAEL has officially crossed the $700M mark at the global box office.
The King of Pop biopic has also retaken its position as the #1 movie in the world this weekend.
An Art! It’s like watching the earth getting formed. MJ is and will always be in his own lane. Ain’t no motherfucker comes close. None! https://t.co/JXoeHi1vzf
Sorry media, u don’t get to control the narrative anymore of who Michael Jackson truly was. The public gets to watch this movie…they will decide for themselves.
And you can’t handle that.
Michael Jackson has surpassed Justin Bieber to become the number one Global Digital Artist in the world 🔥
This comes following the release of ’MICHAEL’‼️
The best to ever do it. I live and die on Michael Jackson’s hill. The dude was and still is a beast even in death! There’ll never be another! Phenomenal human being through and through! My idolo!
Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' to re-enter the Billboard 200 at #7 with 43K units this week following 'Michael' movie (via @HITSDD).
Its highest rank since 2022.
What is going on in Nigeria? Why is it difficult to find someone with integrity? This is becoming a pandemic. It is becoming difficult and nearly impossible to trust anybody in that country.
Everybody is trying to ‘run you street’. Cheating is now called smartness.
When they move abroad as immigrants - they make friends based on visa categories. They don't even date below their visa categories. 😂
When they're on Twitter, the reiterate that stratification. small accounts vs big accounts. 💀
I reflect a lot on our ideological design, as a people. Nigerians are morally bankrupt, culturally deficient and rooted in faux elitism.
This is why some markets exist for us, because they can take advantage of that shameless insecurity - and I genuinely don't think the reason is poverty.
I've visited other poor countries. These countries do not see cars beyond what they are, a means a transportation. They don't see restaurants beyond what they are. They don't see dates beyond what they are.
Something fundamentally is wrong with us.
For us, it isn't even enough that we succeed - it is important that other fail, or don't succeed as much as we do. It is important for us to have an edge other others. It is such a sick attitude.
Person A has one house. Person B has two houses. It isn't enough that they both have roof over their heads - Person B innately subclasses Person A.
You should also to hear from a Nigerian gym goer that you're not "man enough" because you don't bench as much as he does. 💀
As segwayed as these analogies are, they are rooted in the same proportionality. It points to the same mental illness.
Who did this to us?
You thought it was Arise tv or Channels where you lie and won’t be held accountable to your balls.
You looked like a complete mess through that interview, not surprised how the CORNfused BAT puppets take disgrace to international stages like their Leader!
Fucking Liar!
Bitch ass neega!
