JUST IN: EFCC Arrests Party Agents For Alleged Vote Buying In Ekiti Poll, Seized Envelopes Of Money (Videos)
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested persons alleged to have engaged in vote buying in the Ekiti governorship election.
The EFCC is part of security agencies deployed to monitor the election.
The agent was arrested with a bag of cash as he was about to give money to electorates after casting their votes at Igbeyin, Ado-Ekiti where governorship candidate of Accord Party, Dr. Reuben Famuyibo voted.
It was gathered other parties agents on sighting the EFCC operatives took to their eels to avoid being caught and left the books containing list of voters that had voted and collected money.
Parading some of the suspects at the Oke Ori Omi Area Division of the Nigerian Police Force, the suspects were said to have been caught with monies allegedly used to induce voters, an act the EFCC officials 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.
