The
Independent National Electoral Commission says it will not hesitate to sanction
any corps member found to have betrayed public trust by accepting gifts
including food, from politicians, during the 2019 elections.
The
electoral body also warned the corps members not to struggle with thugs so as
not to endanger their lives
INEC
Electoral Officer for the Jos South Council Area in Plateau State, Aisha Lawal,
gave the warning during a sensitisation training organised for some corps
members in Jos on Wednesday.
She
said, “On no account should any corps member eat any food provided by
politicians on election day because if you eat their food and get poisoned or
sleep off on duty to enable them to steal the card reader and other materials,
you will be held responsible “
She
further stated that the corps members on election duties would be posted to
different local government areas of the state other than where they currently
served.
