The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)  says it has captured a leper colony in Niger State in its ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.
INEC, in a tweet on Saturday, explained that the move was in line with its commitment to promoting inclusion in the nation’s electoral process.
According to the tweet, the officials were deployed in the community by the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Niger, Professor Samuel Egwu, to conduct the exercise ahead of the general elections in 2023.
