Watch out for foreigners at polling booths – INEC

Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission has called on Nigerians to be vigilant at the polling units for foreigners who disguise themselves Nigerians in order to vote.

The commission urged security agents to arrest non-Nigerian found with permanent voter cards.

This was disclosed on Friday by the INEC National Commissioner for Information, Festus Okoye during an interview in a Channels TV programme, ‘Politics Today’.

He said, “In terms of non-Nigerians voting, only validly registered voters will be in a position to vote during the 2023 general election, and the Immigration Service, anytime they see any individual who claims to be a Nigerian and has voter card, they should arrest the person and make the voter card available to the commission
