The bill passed Tuesday by Nigeria's House of Representatives comes as the Senate has ordered the head of the country's Independent National Electoral Commission to testify Wednesday. The legislative moves come as criticism grows over problems registering an estimated 70 million voters before Nigeria's April election.
