Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested persons alleged to have engaged in vote buying in the ongoing Ekiti governorship election.
The EFCC is part of security agencies deployed to monitor the election.
While parading some of the suspects at the Oke Ori Omi Area Division of the Nigerian Police Force, EFCC officials said the suspects were caught with monies allegedly used to induce voters, an act the Commission say were carried out surreptitiously.
The EFCC thereafter proceeded to burst another residence where some persons were caught with a book containing details of voters of certain voting area.
