The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has intercepted the sum of N32.4 million of new Naira notes in Lagos. The notes are allegedly to be used for vote buying.
The interception means plans by the Federal Government to prevent vote buying and other financial malfeasance ahead of tomorrow’s presidential and national assembly elections may have begun paying dividends.
The recovery was made by operatives of the Lagos Zonal Command of the EFCC.
The suspect involved has been taken into custody for further questioning.
The Chairman of the Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, has implored all personnel of the Commission deployed 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 team of operatives are currently on ground in all the states of the federation and the FCT.
