The All Progressives Congress (APC) has demanded the immediate arrest of Dino Melaye, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State, following his claims of having access to the back-end server of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Ejes Gist News reports the call for Melaye’s arrest was made by Kingsley Fanwo, the spokesperson of the APC Governorship Campaign Council in Kogi State, during a press conference held on Tuesday in Lokoja.
Fanwo expressed the gravity of Melaye’s allegations by stating, “Claiming to have access to the back-end server of INEC is like walking into the prison yard and demanding to be locked up.”

He continued, emphasizing the straightforward nature of the situation, “Security agencies have no tedious job to do on a suspect who confesses to a crime. Dino Melaye has openly confessed that he hacked into the back end of INEC. Melaye should be arrested and prosecuted for cybercrime.”
The APC’s strong stance stems from Melaye’s assertion that he had breached INEC’s server, raising concerns about the integrity and security of the electoral process. Fanwo’s remarks indicate the party’s belief that Melaye’s actions constitute a serious offense, warranting legal consequences.
