The INEC chairman Prof. Attahiru Jega speaking in an interactive session with media professionals and civil society organisation on voters register optimisation in Abuja, said the INEC had uncovered 93000 fake voters in Anambra state, ahead of the governorship poll in November 16 in the state.
According to Prof. Mega, the figures represents 5.6% of the voting population in anambra.
The offenders would face prosecution, he said, as the inec is working with the NBA to bring the culprites to book.
Jega affirmed that the inec was putting measures in place to curtail the lapses of the 2011 general elections.the case of multiple registration etc.
He rightly stated, "we have prosecuted over 200 people involved in electoral malpractices, it is an enormous work. We have a small legal unit. We are getting to a point where we will collaborate with NBA so that more people will be prosecuted".
