ECOWAS knocks security agencies over role in Osun polls



The Economic Community of West African States has said the international community and voters in Nigeria believe that security agents might have been used in creating problems for the electoral process.

The Head of Political Affairs, ECOWAS, Dr Remi Ajibewa, said this when he and other ECOWAS officials visited the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission, according to a statement on Sunday.

Ajibewa said while INEC conducted the Osun governorship election professionally, the same could not be said of the security agencies.
