The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is considering ‘body odour’ as one of its biometric identifiers for voters during elections, Chairman of the Commission, Prof Mahmood Yakubu has disclosed.

Speaking at the Chatham House, London, Yakubu said the commission’s technologists made the recommendation during the last upgrade of INEC’s identity verification system from the Automated Fingerprint Identification Software (AFIS) to the more robust Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS).

Yakubu, however, hinted that he cautioned the in-house engineers to “make haste slowly” and allow the commission to get accustomed to the ABIS, which makes use of the fingers and facials for verification, before adding a new layer of verification.

The INEC Chairman suggested that in the nearest future, the electoral umpire may adopt body odour for verification of voters during elections.

“The clean up of the (voter) register was painstakingly conducted by the Commission because the automated biometric identification system (ABIS)…before now, the commission used the fingerprint identification system but this time around, we used the ABIS, meaning both fingerprint and facial, and that is what we are also using to accredit voters on Election Day.

“And all these innovations were all the work of INEC’s own in-house engineers in the Commission, the machines may have been fabricated outside the country but the design of the machines was done by our own engineers in-house.

“In fact, one of them said they’re going to introduce a new biometric using body odour.

“I said please not yet. Let’s make haste slowly but when he explained it to me, it sounded logical. He said, don’t laugh Chairman, because I said body odour. It is also biometric.

“He said, how does your dog recognize you? It is from your body odour and that’s why if another person walks into the house it barks when you move into the house, it wags its tail because it recognizes your body odour, I said but for elections let’s wait,” Yakubu said at the Chatham House.
