INEC Administrative Secretary Secretary in Kwara, Mr Paul Atser, made this known in a statement in Ilorin on Friday.
“It has come to the notice of Independent National Electoral Commission, Kwara State that some unscrupulous persons are carrying out illegal registration of voters in Offa Local Government area,” Atser said.
