As of now, there has been no official statement from INEC regarding the officer in the video or the validity of the recording. However, the video has already put a dark cloud over what was supposed to be a democratic exercise in Edo.
The release of this video has placed immense pressure on INEC, which has faced criticism in the past for its handling of elections.
Nigerians are now demanding that INEC not only investigate the video but also ensure that those involved in any form of electoral malpractice are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
