 The credibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voters’ register has come under intense scrutiny ahead of the 2027 general elections, following revelations by INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan that names of deceased persons remain on the register. Amupitan disclosed that names of voters who died as far back as 15 years ago are still listed, a situation critics say could undermine the integrity of the 2027 polls and lead to significant financial waste through the printing of excess ballot papers and other election logistics. The INEC chairman made the revelation while receiving the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Abisoye Coker-Odusote, and her management team during a courtesy visit in Abuja on Wednesday. Amupitan announced that INEC has entered into a partnership with NIMC to deliver a credible voters’ register and transparent elections. He said INEC would leverage NIMC’s robust data archi...

 NASA Astronauts Return to Earth After Nine-Month Space Stranding


NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who were stranded in space for months due to technical issues, have finally returned to Earth.


Their journey concluded on Wednesday as SpaceX’s Dragon Freedom capsule safely splashed down off the Florida coast, ending a mission that was initially set to last just eight days but extended to nine months. NASA confirmed their arrival in a post on X, stating, “Home sweet home. NASA’s SpaceX #Crew9 touched down at Johnson Space Center’s Ellington Field in Houston at 11:19 pm CDT, March 18, after their @Space_Station mission and successful splashdown earlier this afternoon.”


Williams and Wilmore had traveled to the International Space Station in June 2024 aboard Boeing’s Starliner for its first crewed test flight. However, the capsule suffered multiple technical failures and was deemed unsafe for their return. NASA later sent the Starliner back to Earth empty in September, leaving the astronauts without transportation.


They were eventually assigned seats on a SpaceX capsule, but as it was part of a scheduled six-month mission, they had to remain on the ISS until now.


Despite being considered "stranded," NASA assured that the astronauts were always safe, as emergency spacecraft were docked at the station. During their extended stay, they conducted research experiments and spacewalks, with Williams setting a new record for the most time spent outside the space station by a female astronaut.


NASA officials praised their resilience and adaptability. “It is awesome to have Crew 9 home, just a beautiful landing,” said Joel Montalbano, deputy associate administrator for NASA’s Space Operations.


Following their 17-hour return journey, the astronauts were assisted onto stretchers, a routine procedure after long space missions due to the effects of microgravity on the body. They were then taken to the Johnson Space Center in Houston for medical evaluations.


Experts highlight that extended space travel weakens muscles, reduces bone density, and affects circulation, requiring astronauts to undergo extensive rehabilitation upon returning to Earth's gravity.
