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 Such access is restricted to official duties only and is withdrawn at the conclusion of the exercise.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.

Emeka Ike was a registered voter in Imo State.
He only transferred his INEC Registration to the FCT on May 15, 2026 (15 days ago).
And he wants to contest for House of Reps in Abuja!
Someone who has never voted in the FCT o.
What happened to his Imo State?
This Obidient people enh!!!
1. I Have Written to INTERPOL About Seyi Tinubu. This Is Not a Threat. This Is a Process.
Let me be very clear about what is happening right now.
I am Kio Amachree, President of Worldview International. I have spent months filing formal complaints with the FBI, the DEA, the UK Serious Fraud Office, MI5, Sweden’s SAPO, and the United Nations regarding the conduct of the Tinubu administration and its principal beneficiaries. I have written open letters to President Trump, King Charles, Prime Minister Starmer, and the UN Secretary-General. I have submitted formal petitions to INTERPOL member country National Central Bureaus.
Today I escalated.
I have formally written to the Secretary General of INTERPOL in Lyon, France — Secretary General Valdecy Urquiza — with copies simultaneously served on the Director General of the UK National Crime Agency, the Director of the UK Serious Fraud Office, the Head of Sanctions at the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, and Sweden’s SAPO.
The subject: Seyi Tinubu. Money laundering. A fraud-tainted £9 million London mansion purchased through a British Virgin Islands shell company called Aranda Overseas Corporation, at the precise moment that property was under active Nigerian government confiscation proceedings as the proceeds of a $1.6 billion fraud. Documented by Bloomberg News. Confirmed by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. On the public record since May 2023.
For those who do not know what an Unexplained Wealth Order is, let me explain. Under UK law, the National Crime Agency can walk into the High Court and obtain an order requiring Seyi Tinubu to explain, in legal proceedings, exactly where the money came from to buy that mansion. If he cannot explain it — and he has never even tried, publicly — the property is presumed to be recoverable criminal proceeds and can be seized. No criminal conviction required. The burden of proof shifts to him.
That is the same mechanism used to seize £24 million worth of properties from the wife of a corrupt Azerbaijani banker. It is the same legal architecture that froze over $730 million of Isabel dos Santos’s assets in London’s High Court. It is active, it is proven, and it applies directly to Seyi Tinubu’s London property portfolio.
And INTERPOL? Let me tell you what a Red Notice means in practice. It means that if Seyi Tinubu lands at any airport in Europe — Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Zurich, Stockholm — he can be detained on the spot by local law enforcement pending extradition proceedings. That is what happened to the targets of Angola’s pursuit of Isabel dos Santos. It is what the UK government, the NCA, and Sweden’s SAPO now have the formal documentation in their hands to initiate.
I am not writing articles anymore. I am filing. There is a difference.
The UK government has already called Isabel dos Santos a notorious kleptocrat and frozen her assets. The Swiss government convicted Gilbert Chagoury of money laundering in 1994. The United States forfeited assets from Bola Tinubu himself in 1993 in connection with narcotics trafficking proceeds. The international accountability infrastructure is not theoretical. It has been used against this family and their circle before. It will be used again.
To every Nigerian reading this — in Lagos, in Abuja, in Port Harcourt, in London, in Houston, in Stockholm — I want you to understand something. While you are paying ₦1,500 for a litre of fuel. While your hospitals have no drugs. While your currency has lost half its value. Seyi Tinubu’s shell company was buying a three-floor mansion in St. John’s Wood with an eight-car driveway, electric gates, two gardens, and a gym, using money connected to a £9 million property that the Nigerian government itself had identified as the proceeds of a $1.6 billion fraud.
That ends.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Professor Segun Aina as the new Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), succeeding Professor Is-haq Oloyede, whose two-term tenure expires on July 31, 2026.
Professor Aina, who will be 40 in July, is a distinguished academic and systems expert with extensive experience in national examination systems, digital infrastructure, and public-sector institutional reform.
He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Kent, an MSc in Internet Computing and Network Security, and a PhD in Digital Signal Processing, both from Loughborough University, United Kingdom. He has also completed the Senior Management Programme at Lagos Business School.
A Professor of Computer Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Aina began his career with JAMB during his National Youth Service, gaining foundational experience in national admissions and data-driven institutional processes. These insights have shaped his ongoing contributions to examination reform and systems optimisation.
With over 15 years of post-graduation experience, Professor Aina operates at the intersection of technology, policy, and institutional transformation, advising federal and state governments on system design, digital transition, and operational reform. At 39, he became one of Nigeria's youngest Computer Engineering professors and will now make history as JAMB’s youngest registrar.
He has served as a consultant to major examination bodies, including NECO, NABTEB, and various State Ministries of Education, providing expertise on ICT systems, examination integrity, and digital process optimisation.
Professor Aina is a member of several professional bodies, including the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
President Tinubu expects Professor Aina to bring to bear his vast experience, knowledge and practical insight into the operations of the Board, to take the critical educational organisation beyond the laudable heights achieved by his predecessor.
