Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar raises concerns about the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) used by Nigeria’s electoral commission ahead of the 2027 general election. He warns that BVAS operating on outdated technology could create cybersecurity and operational risks, according to a post shared on Paul Ibe’s Facebook account on Tuesday.
One report says Atiku’s worry centers on the BVAS using an outdated operating system, while another specifies that the concern involves BVAS devices running on Android 10. Both accounts frame the issue as an election-security matter, linking software currency to the reliability and safety of voter accreditation processes. The sources do not provide independent verification of the device software versions or any official response from INEC in the material provided.
