This online news platform understands that the EFCC personnel were seen moving around the polling units and observing proceedings as voters took turns to get accreditation and cast their votes.
Newsone Nigeria reports that the EFCC personnel dressed in red jackets took strategic positions, apparently trying to see if there was vote-buying by insatiable politicians. The anti-graft agency is waging war against vote-buying and inducement to ensure the electorate vote for their choices in the election.
In a bid to stop corruption, an alleged official of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged vote buying in the ongoing governorship election in Osun State, Southwest Nigeria.
Newsone reports that the suspected APC Agent who was caught at AUD Primary School, Isale Osun, in a video posted by the anti-graft agency, identified himself as Nurudeen.
Speaking in the Yoruba language, the APC Agent said: “He was caught at ward 8, adding that people from Abuja asked for the ward leader which he happen to be the leader in that unit and that he took the people to the ward leader and after he got there, they asked for money to buy water, they gave him N10,000 and he gave the people. “
