House of Representatives Urges INEC to Relocate Local Offices for Enhanced Security and Autonomy
The House of Representatives has passed a resolution calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to relocate its local government offices to more secure and neutral locations.
The decision, proposed by Enugu representative Sunday Nnamchi, follows concerns over recent attacks on INEC offices and the influence local government authorities might have on the commission’s independence.
Nnamchi pointed out that many INEC offices are within local government headquarters, making them susceptible to political influence, especially in areas dominated by a single party.
“To preserve INEC’s impartiality and maintain public trust, it’s essential to reinforce the commission’s autonomy,” he noted, referencing section 6 of the Electoral Act 2022.
The motion passed without opposition, and the House has urged INEC to budget for this relocation in 2025. Committees will report on progress within four weeks to support further legislative action.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.

It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
