The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Ogun State, Niyi Ijalaye, has passed away after slumping following a meeting of RECs at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters in Abuja.
Ijalaye, who was appointed in March 2022, had participated actively in the meeting before the incident. He reportedly returned to his hotel room after the meeting, where he subsequently collapsed. The INEC has not yet confirmed the death.
