A video clip circulating on social media platforms captured a large number of youths invading a mansion allegedly belong to Professor Mahmood Yakunbu, the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

VerseNews Nigeria reports that the angry youths were seen destrying the cars and every property in the building.

Reacting to the invasion, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja, said Yakubu had no such property anywhere in the world.

He therefore said the report is false and misleading.⁣
