The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it did not issue an identity card that reads “Complete Access” for security personnel on election duty.
The commission announced this in a statement by its National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye in Abuja.
Okoye said the attention of INEC was drawn to an identity card for security personnel bearing the name and logo of the commission with the inscription “Complete Access” boldly written in red at the bottom of it.
He noted that anyone bearing the identity card is liable to arrest and prosecution.

“We wish to state categorically that the identity card did not emanate from the Commission. Identity cards for security personnel on election duty were issued by the security agencies and not the Commission,” the INEC spokesman said.
“Anyone bearing an identity card allegedly issued by the Commission for security personnel can only be on illegal duty. Such a person is liable to arrest and prosecution.
“The public is alerted to this diabolical action of some misdirected elements and to report any such persons to the security agencies,” Okoye said.
