INEC denies

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is demanding the sum of N6billion to feed the Nigerian police force during the 2019 general elections.

A report by Punch states that the body has this notion contained in its budget for the polls presented to the House of Representatives.

Amused by the incredulous amount, the lawmakers questioned the INEC chairman, Professor Mahmoud Yakubu, about the amount requested, asking that it should be defended.

As of the time of filing this report, the budget defence is still ongoing at the National Assembly.

The meeting is for the presentation of the INEC 2019 general elections budget by the commission to the committee.
