The Commission in a statement issued recently stated that information making the rounds on websites and social media requesting job seekers to apply for vacancies at different organisations through the Commission is dubious.

“We unequivocally declare that those online publications are fictitious and should be disregarded as they did not emanate from the Commission.

“The Commission is not recruiting currently. The general public is advised to be wary of the activities of fake recruitment syndicates and racketeers.

“Whenever the Commission officially commences any recruitment exercise, it will be publicly announced on the Commission’s website (www.fedcivilservice.gov.ng).

INEC disclosed that it detected several invalid registrations during the clean-up of the register from the recently concluded voter registration exercise.

The continuous voter registration exercise (CVR) ended on July 31 — thirteen months after it began, Daily Dates Nigeria reports.

In April, INEC had said 45 percent of registrations done in 2021 were invalid.

The commission had previously attributed this to multiple registrations and incomplete data.

In a statement on Monday by its Commissioner for Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye, INEC said it would provide the public with details after the clean-up exercise has been concluded.

The statement read, “As Nigerians are aware, the cleaning up of the register of voters using the Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS) is ongoing since the suspension of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) on 31st July 2022.

“Earlier, the Commission informed Nigerians that out of the 2,523,458 (Two million, five hundred and twenty-three thousand, four hundred and fifty-eight) fresh registrants that registered between 28th June 2021 and 14th January 2022, 1,126,359 (One million, one hundred and twenty-six thousand, three hundred and fifty-nine) records were found to be invalid and consequently delisted.

“The ABIS for the period — 15th January to 31st July 2022 — is almost completed. Several double, multiple, and ineligible registrants have also been detected and invalidated. These include entries that fail to meet the Commission’s business rules. The Commission takes this responsibility seriously because a credible register is at the heart of electoral integrity.

“As soon as the process is concluded, the Commission will provide the public with full information as usual. Thereafter, valid registrants will be added to the existing national register of voters before publishing same nationwide for scrutiny, claims, and objections by citizens as required by section 19 (1) of the Electoral Act 2022.

“We reassure Nigerians that a thorough process is being undertaken to clean up the registration data. Similarly, Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) for all valid registrants will be available for collection by the end of October/early November as promised.”

Bawa made this known during an interview on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme, Daily Dates Nigeria reports.

According to him, real estate is one of the biggest ways through which money is laundered in Nigeria.

He added that about 90 to 100 percent of resources are being laundered through the sector.

He narrated how the commission investigated a female minister whose name was not disclosed, bought $37.5 million property from a bank, and deposited $20 million in cash.

“One of the problems we have in the country is the real estate. 90 to 100 percent of the resources are being laundered through real estate. Of course, they are being regulated but they are not enough in terms of how they give their returns to the Special Control Unit,” Bawa said.

“We investigated a matter in which a bank MD marketed the property to a minister and agreed to purchase it at $37.5million. The bank then sent a vehicle to her house to evacuate $20million from her house in the first instance.

“The bank succeeded to put it in their system and paid the developer and then a lawyer set up a special purpose vehicle where the title documents were transferred into and of course, he is posing as the owner of the house.

“Without the help of the banker, the minister couldn’t have imagined collecting $20million from anyone with opportunity from the real sector; she could not have thought of where to launder the proceeds of crime.”
