Governor Umaru Bago of Niger has dissolved the State Independent Electoral Commission (NSIEC).
This is contained in a statement issued by the secretary to the state government (SSG), Abubakar Usman, on Sunday.
The dissolution, the statement said, took effect from May 29.
“Members of the commission are directed to hand over all property of the state government in their possession to the most senior Director with immediate effect,” it stated.
The Niger State House of Assembly had, on September 27, 2022, sacked the chairman of NSIEC, Baba Aminu, over alleged misconduct.
