AA demands forensic audit of voters' register over AI NIN duplication claims
Action Alliance chairman Kenneth Udeze has called on INEC chairman Joash Amupitan to investigate and sack any staff allegedly using AI-generated images to duplicate National Identification Numbers in the voters' register. The allegations stem from a viral publication claiming synthetic AI images and duplicate NINs exist in the National Register of Voters.
Udeze warns this poses a "grave threat to the integrity of the 2027 elections" and breaches the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023. The party demands an independent, third-party forensic audit of the register with a public cleanup trail, identification and prosecution of compromised staff, and collaboration with NIMC to resolve NIN duplication issues.
INEC has not yet responded to the allegations. The electoral commission faces mounting pressure to prove register credibility ahead of the 2027 general elections, with multiple parties questioning voter data integrity.
If INEC's register is compromised, can any 2027 election outcome be considered legitimate? What verification would restore your confidence in the process?
