The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that thirty of its ad-hoc staff declared missing earlier have been found safe and sound.

Okay.ng reported that the electoral body had declared the staff posted to Olamaboro Local Government Area (LGA) missing while on duty in Saturday’s Kogi State governorship election.

Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Mr. Rotimi Oyekanmi, in a statement Sunday, said the staff were safe and sound while they had also concluded their election day assignments.

He said, “We can now confirm that all the 30 ad-hoc staff engaged for the 2019 Kogi Governorship election and posted to Polling Units 002, 006 and 013 at Olamaboro III; and Polling Units 006, 012, 015, 016, 022 at Imani 1 all in Olamaboro Local Government Area have been accounted for. They are safe, sound and back in their respective homes. The Chairman of the Commission has personally spoken with some of them and they confirmed that they are hale and hearty”

Oyekanmi also said none of the staff was harmed or killed.

“These election-day duty staff could not be accounted for initially following the violent attacks by some armed thugs at their respective duty posts after the close of polls. The Commission has established that none of them was either injured or killed. They were able to successfully conclude the result collation process before the commotion started,” he added.
