  "summary": "Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has demanded the prosecution of Independent National Electoral Commission officials involved in the introduction of AI-generated photographs and other irregularities into the preliminary voter register. Atiku expressed his concerns over the security of the electoral register and the commission's ability to guarantee credible elections, following INEC's admission that some registration officers abused their access credentials to introduce irregularities. He called for an independent forensic audit of the preliminary voter register, urging the commission to preserve all voter records and evidence for examination by independent experts, political parties, civil society organizations, and international observers.",
