 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.

SOUTH SUDAN FOOTBALL TEAM ENDURES ORDEAL AT LIBYAN AIRPORT.(PHOTO).


 


The South Sudan national football team, Bright Star, experienced a harrowing ordeal at Benina International Airport in Benghazi, Libya, after being stranded for three hours due to a lack of coordination from the Sudan Football Association (SFA).


According to reports, the team arrived at the airport at 10:12 a.m. after departing from Cairo, Egypt, but were not greeted by an SFA representative, who was supposed to facilitate their entry into the country. As a result, Libyan migration authorities seized the team's passports, citing the lack of coordination.


The team, including players and technical staff, were left stranded, frustrated, and confused for three tense hours. It was only after this prolonged period that the authorities permitted the team to leave the airport, although their passports were not returned as a guarantee.


The South Sudan Football Association (SSFA) has strongly condemned the experience, emphasizing the need for coordination between football associations. The incident has left some players sick, tired, and traumatized, with the SSFA describing the treatment of their team as "unacceptable" and "disrespectful."


The SSFA has lodged a complaint with FIFA and CAF, urging them to take action to prevent such negligence from happening again. The team is set to face Sudan in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers matchday six, and the SSFA is seeking assurances that the necessary arrangements will be made to prevent any further incidents.
