Nollywood actor and politician Emeka Ike says his personal voter information was exposed in an alleged INEC (Independent National Electoral Commission) data leak and that the incident left him feeling unsafe for the first time. Ike says he is prepared to take legal action connected to the alleged publication of his data, which he links to Lere Olayinka, described as a media aide to Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike. In separate reports, Ike and his representatives accuse Olayinka of leaking or causing the leak of his voter details.
Premium Times reports that Ike’s lawyers criticise INEC over the incident and frame the matter beyond a personal dispute, describing it as a test of how securely Nigerians’ sensitive data is protected. Other outlets report Ike’s public reaction to the exposure and his intention to pursue legal steps. Together, the reports depict an ongoing dispute in which Ike seeks accountability over alleged mishandling and exposure of his voter data, while also calling attention to broader concerns about data security.
