JUST IN: AHEAD OF THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS, EFCC HARVESTS N32.4M IN NEW NOTES ALLEGEDLY MEANT FOR VOTE-BUYING IN LAGOS.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC, seized N32,400,000 on Friday in Lagos.

According to Wilson Uwujaren, the head of media for the EFCC, the funds are thought to have been intended for the purchase of votes in Lagos.

The spokesperson stated that the suspects in question have been arrested and are being questioned further.

Abdulrasheed Bawa, the chairman of the EFCC, has urged all workers assigned to election monitoring responsibilities to act bravely.

Bawa cautioned them not to provide opportunities for dishonest people to tamper with the election’s integrity through money inducement.

All the federation’s states and the FCT currently have tactical teams of operatives on the ground, according to the commission.

In order for the public to provide information about financial malpractices, phone hotlines have already been advertised on social media, continued Uwujaren.
