The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission Prof Mahmood Yakubu has said a property being vandalized by some youths does not belong to him.
There have been claims attached to the viral video saying the youths attacked Yakubu’s residence in Bauchi.
But in a statement issued by his media aide Rotimi Oyekanmi, the INEC boss said the property in question is not his own.
The property being purportedly attacked by some youths in a video clip circulating on the social media does not belong to the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.
The statement read, “The INEC Chairman does not own the property in question in either Bauchi or anywhere else around the world.
This narrative is indeed the latest in the series of desperate smear campaign efforts by mischief makers. The public should disregard it.“
Independent search by the NPO Reports also revealed that the video had been posted two days ago by one Hamisu on his tiktok account claiming that the house belonged to the chairman of a local government area in Zamfara State.
