INEC DISOWNS FAKE X ACCOUNT

 

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has debunked claims that its Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, operates an account on X, formerly Twitter.

 

In a statement, the Commission described the allegation as false and a deliberate attempt to undermine the Chairman’s integrity and neutrality.

INEC says the Chairman does not own or manage any social media account and has never engaged in partisan commentary.

The Commission also warned of rising cases of impersonation and cyber fraud, noting that security agencies are already tracking those behind the fake accounts, with a promise to prosecute offenders.
