The fight against election malpractices has received a further boost as the National Industrial Court sitting in Uyo, capital of Akwa Ibom state has dismissed the case of a staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mr. Sunday Ernest Ushie, challenging his sack on the grounds of fraud.

This is even as the court presided over by Honourable Justice M.A. Namtari had on Wednesday July 20, 2022, dismissed the case filed by Ushie and upheld the decision of INEC Akwa Ibom state headed by Resident Electoral Commissioner Barrister Mike Igini.

INEC had on August 7, 2022 terminated the appointment of Ushie who worked in the Information and Communication Technology Department of the Commission. He was accused of tampering with Data Base of INEC at the eve of the 2019 General Elections and engaged in unauthorised transfer of registered voters without INEC permission and was also found in possession of several Permanent Voters Cards contrary to the rules of INEC.
