“INEC wishes to totally disassociate itself from this website and any activity carried out on it,” he said.

Okoye said the commission had not accredited any agency or organisation to capture details of intending voters on its behalf.

“The general public is hereby informed that the INEC continuous voter registration online portal remains https://cvr.inecnigeria.org,” said the commissioner.
