In a terse statement on Friday, the Police Spokesperson, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said,
“The Nigeria Police Force hereby confirms that Barr. Hudu Yunusa-Ari, the suspended Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), who has been in custody for interrogations by the police in the course of investigations into allegations of impropriety during the supplementary gubernatorial pools in the state, has been granted administrative bail by the Police while investigations subsist.
“He is expected to report at the Police Headquarters every weekday while investigations are ongoing on the matter.”
On Tuesday, Ari was arrested by the Police Election Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluation Team in Abuja following an alleged impropriety in the course of supplementary gubernatorial polls in the State.
He had announced Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), winner of the gubernatorial elections despite an inconclusive collation process.
