EKO HOT BLOG reports that the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission are carrying out a secret operation at the venue of the All Progressives Congress national convention.
The anti-graft agency is currently conducting a covert investigation into delegates’ inducement and vote-buying during the ruling All Progressives Congress’s ongoing presidential primary elections.
“We’re currently at the APC convention ground on a covert operation,” said the reliable source, who spoke with to The Punch correspondent on the condition of anonymity.
We’re keeping an eye on things and keeping a close eye out for incidents of delegates being bribed, votes being bought, and other electoral or financial fraud.”
The source also confirmed to Punch Metro that the anti-graft agency is conducting the undercover operation to catch potential criminals off guard.
This comes amid reports that major candidates in the ongoing presidential primary elections are paying delegates up to $40,000 in order to entice them to vote for them.
During the presidential primary elections of the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party, some EFCC officers stormed the Moshood Kashimawo Abiola International Stadium in Abuja.
Around 4:40 p.m., the officers arrived at the location.
Recall that the operatives stormed the venue of the PDP’s presidential primary elections in Abuja following reports of alleged vote-buying and bribing of delegates.
The EFCC later issued an official statement confirming the report, stating that its operatives stormed the convention to monitor delegates’ inducement and financial malpractices.
“Our operatives were at the MKO Abiola Stadium for the PDP presidential primary elections to monitor the process and, in particular, to check delegates’ inducement and other financial malpractices.” In part, the statement was read.
