SocialMediaTrends: More on INEC chairman Mahmood and the Bauchi house viral video

In an attempt to protest the results of the recently concluded elections, several Nigerians who were dissatisfied with the outcome of the 2023 general elections attacked a property reportedly owned by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

In a video now making the trends on social media, irate youth were seen forcefully making their way into the property said to be in Bauchi State.

Many took to social media hinting that a revolution is probably going to commence, however, INEC on its verified Twitter handle disclaimed the video, adding that its Chairman does not own such property.

See how Nigerians are reacting:

The property being purportedly attacked by some youths in a video clip circulating on the social media does not belong to the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.

The INEC Chairman does not own the property in question in either Bauchi or anywhere else around the world.

“INEC chairman does not own property in Bauchi or any other part of the world”

These are the kind of rebuttal you will go and defend tomorrow 😂
