INEC Alerts DSS and Police Over Fake APC Primary Results
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Imo State has formally contacted the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force regarding a fraudulent senatorial primary result sheet that incorrectly identifies Senator Rochas Okorocha as the APC candidate for Imo West Senatorial District. The letters, signed by Resident Electoral Commissioner Chukwuemeka Ibeziako and dated October 5 and October 8, 2026, assert that the document in question is fictitious and does not match the official report submitted to INEC's national headquarters.
The legitimate report, dated May 18, 2026, certifies Senator Hope Odidika Uzodinma as the duly elected APC candidate. INEC has attached copies of both the certified result and the disputed document, labeled Annexures A and B, to assist investigators.
The commission has urged the DSS and police to investigate the origins of the fraudulent document and take action against those responsible, emphasizing the potential threat to law and order.
