Voting in the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) presidential election has been delayed after a cyberattack disrupted the association’s electronic voting platform. The Electoral Committee announced that voting, which was scheduled to begin on Saturday, could not go ahead as planned.
According to the committee, the cyberattack affected the online system used for the election. Officials said efforts are already underway to investigate the incident and restore the platform.
The NBA assured members that protecting the integrity of the election remains its top priority. A new voting date is expected to be announced once the system is fully secured.
The incident has raised fresh concerns about cybersecurity and the safety of online voting systems in Nigeria. Many lawyers are now waiting for further updates from the Electoral Committee.
