JUST IN: INEC evicts Doguwa’s name from Reps-elect list

 The name of the embattled House of Representatives leader, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, has been removed from the list of election winners by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He was declared the winner of the Doguwa/Tudunwada constituency election on February 25 by the electoral body.

Professor Ibrahim Adamu Yakasai, the returning officer, had previously announced that Doguwa of the All Progressives Congress (APC) polled 39,732 votes to defeat his closest rival, Yushau Salisu Abdullahi of the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP), who polled 34,798 votes.

However, Doguwa's name was conspicuously absent from the newly released list of members-elect.

In the remark session, INEC stated that the declaration was made under duress.

In a viral video of the returning officer declaring the results, the don from Bayero University, Kano could be seen reading out the results with shaky voice.

Prime9jaOnline reports that following election violence recorded in the constituency after the election, Doguwa was arrested by the police for his alleged role in the killings of several persons and burning of the secretariat of the NNPP, an allegation the lawmaker has denied vehemently.

The police had confirmed that at least three persons were killed while the campaign secretariat of the NNPP in Tudunwada was set ablaze with two persons burnt to death.

Doguwa was thereafter taken before a magistrate’s court on the charges of murder, arson and unlawful possession of firearms, and was subsequently remanded in prison.

But a Federal High Court in Kano on Monday admitted the embattled lawmaker to N500million bail, but barred him from his constituency during the forthcoming gubernatorial and state assembly elections.
