The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it does not know the whereabouts of Hudu Yunusa-Ari, the resident electoral commissioner (REC) in Adamawa.
The Adamawa governorship supplementary election was conducted on Saturday following the declaration of the March 18 poll as inconclusive over alleged irregularities.
While the results from the supplementary election were yet to be completely announced, Yunusa-Ari declared Aisha ‘Binani’ Dahiru, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the winner.
INEC subsequently declared the announcement null and void and summoned the REC to its headquarters in Abuja.
Speaking on Friday during a Channels Television programme, Festus Okoye, INEC national commissioner and chairman, information and voter education committee, said Yunusa-Ari failed to show up at the commission’s headquarters as directed.
He said the REC has not been picking up phone calls and his location is unknown.
