Veteran Nollywood actor Emeka Ike has expressed shock and concern over the alleged leak of his personal voter registration details, saying the incident made him feel unsafe and exposed.
The controversy stems from an ongoing investigation into an alleged unauthorised access to INEC’s voter database, where sensitive personal information was reportedly circulated online.
Speaking through his representatives, Ike said the publication of his personal data without consent was a violation of privacy and threatened to take legal action against those responsible if the matter is not properly addressed.
He described the situation as alarming, noting that the exposure of personal information could put public figures and ordinary citizens at risk of harassment, identity misuse, and insecurity.
The issue is part of a wider probe by security agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force and DSS, into allegations that voter registration records were accessed and shared without authorisation.
Authorities have detained an INEC official and invited individuals linked to the incident for questioning as investigations continue.
INEC has also reiterated that its voter database is secure and warned that any breach of electoral data will be treated as a serious criminal offence.
Emeka Ike’s reaction adds to growing public concern over digital privacy and the protection of sensitive electoral information in Nigeria.
