 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.

 SANWO-OLU HAILS POLICE ONSLAUGHT AGAINST CRIMINALS

OPERATION "KOSAYE" YIELDS RESULTS AS POLICE ARREST 88 SUSPECTS, RESCUE 5 KIDNAPPED VICTIMS 


Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has hailed security agencies on the ongoing “massive onslaught “ against criminals. 


Operation "Kosaye", coordinated security crackdown across Ogun and Lagos states, has yielded remarkable results: 

. 88 suspects arrested;four dead in gun duel with operatives; 

. five kidnap victims rescued; and 

. cache of arms and ammunition     

recovered.


“We will continue to work with the police and other security agencies to ensure that our state is safe and secure for residents and visitors,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said. 


“We appreciate the huge efforts of the police as directed by Inspector-General Tunji Disu, in arresting the suspects and the co-operation of our neighbors, Ogun State. This is the way it should be,” he added. 


There has been a strong police presence in Lagos and Ogun states. Lagos and Ogun police commands have displayed recovered weapons and paraded suspects— a clear message to criminal elements that they will have no space in the two states. 


Operation "Kosaye" (no space for criminals) reflects a renewed, no-nonsense push to dismantle kidnapping rings, armed robbery gangs, and other violent crimes networks in the Southwest.


Operatives are combing the forest boundaries between Lagos and Ogun States along J3/ J4 axis of Ogbere in Ogun State as part of the operations.


The Police say they remain resolute in ensuring there is no hiding place for criminals, especially kidnappers, through intelligence-led operations and sustained security efforts.


Mr Sanwo-Olu urges residents of Lagos to keep assisting the police with information on the hideouts of criminals. “We will do our best to ensure that our law enforcement agencies are well motivated through the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF),”he said.
