Polls: EFCC intercepts N32.4m new Naira cash allegedly meant for vote-buying in Lagos

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has intercepted N32,400,000 cash suspected to be for vote buying in Lagos.

The recovery was made by operatives of the Lagos Zonal Command of the Commission.

The anti-graft agency spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, said the suspect involved has already been taken into custody for further questioning.

However, he was silent on the political party that the suspect is working for.

Chairman of the Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, has implored all operatives of the Commission deployed in the State for election monitoring duties to show courage and not give room for unscrupulous persons to undermine the integrity of the elections through financial inducement.

Tactical teams of operatives are on the ground in all the states of the federation and the FCT.

Telephone hotlines have already been circulated through social media for members of the public to share information regarding financial malpractices with agents of the Commission.
