A former Commissioner for Lands and Survey in Benue State, Surv. John Tondo, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to make

immediate arrangements to take the ongoing Continuous Voters’ Registration exercise to all the internally displaced persons camps hosting Nigerian citizens from Uvir, Mbadwem, Mbabai, Mbayer-Yandev, Mbawa, and Nyiev Council Wards of Guma Local Government Area in Benue State.

He further threatened to take legal actions if no special arrangements to register and include in the voters’ register every Nigerian citizen from the aforementioned Council Wards in the IDPs camps in Benue State are put in place by INEC within 21 days. “As you are also aware, many Nigerian citizens of resident in Benue State origin were forced into various IDP Camps within the State because of frequent bloody internal conflicts which occasioned the prevailing climate of insecurity in the State.

“Now, the INEC is conducting another voters’ registration for purposes of the 2023 General Elections, and once again persons eligible for registration as voters but who currently reside in the IDP Camps are being excluded from the process as no special arrangement whatsoever has been made to ensure their registration as voters and the inclusion of their names in the updated Voters’ Register.

”I’m writing this petition on behalf of the IDPs from the following Council Wards in Guma Local Government Area: Uvir, Mbadwem, Mbabai, Mbayer-Yandev, Mbawa, and Nyiev, who were sacked from their homes by armed marauders and for a long time they have been living in IDPs camps in Benue State.
