The statement read in part, “All the electoral offenses among them were fully investigated and transferred to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for prosecution.
“While others that contravened the penal code have been charged to court by the Police. However, there are others that are still under investigation.”
Meanwhile, Ahmed Aliyu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, was declared the winner of the Sokoto Gubernatorial election.
