Nigeria’s Police Force is investigating an alleged unauthorised access and leak of classified voter information from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) database. Reports say police arrest and detain an INEC official suspected to be involved in the incident and conduct questioning of a media aide linked to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Vanguard reports that the INEC officer is arrested and interrogated as part of the probe, while the aide to Wike, identified as Lere Olayinka, is also being interrogated. The Punch similarly reports that police detain an INEC official and quiz Wike’s aide over the suspected voter data leak. The Punch also references the involvement of actor Emeka Ike in connection with the allegations, but details beyond the fact of police engagement with the matter are not fully described in the provided excerpts. Both outlets present the incident as an active police investigation, with emphasis on suspected breaches of INEC’s classified voter information system and the arrest or detention of an INEC officer alongside questioning of an aide associated with Wike.
