Edo Guber: EFCC Arrests 3 Suspected Vote Buyers In Egor LGA

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested three suspected vote buyers in Egor LG in the ongoing Edo governorship election.

The election which is nearing a critical hour began late in so many polling units due to late arrival of INEC officials and materials.

However, at Egor, the EFCC swooped on two males and one female at a polling unit as they were seen handing out cash to people waiting to vote.

EFCC deployed many of its operatives in Egor and seven other local governments identified as hotspots.

Other hotspots listed which saw armed soldiers, police and others security agencies alongside the EFCC deployed in large numbers are Ovia south-west, Ovia north-east, Egor, Oredo, Ikpoba Okha, Etsako west, Etsako east, and Esan south-east.
