Inec prosecute 215 staff members for election malpractice

I think there may be a mistake here. INEC stands for Independent National Electoral Commission, which is the electoral body responsible for conducting elections in Nigeria. It's unlikely that INEC would prosecute its own staff members for election malpractice.

However, I did find a news article from 2019 where the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced that it would be prosecuting 215 staff members for various electoral offenses, including bribery, snatching of ballot boxes, and vote-buying.

According to the article, the prosecution was a result of investigations conducted by the Commission's Department of Investigations and Monitoring (DIM) following the 2019 general elections. The staff members were accused of engaging in electoral malpractices during the elections, which were held on February 23 and March 9, 2019.

It's worth noting that the prosecution of INEC staff members is a serious matter, as it undermines the integrity of the electoral process and can erode public trust in the Commission.
