The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has made arrests related to suspected vote-buying in the ongoing Edo State governorship election
The arrests took place at around 10:00 am, in the Egor Local Government Area of the state.
EFCC officials apprehended three individuals — two men and one woman — who are suspected of being involved in vote-buying activities. However, some residents in the area have protested, claiming that the suspects are being unfairly targeted.
Today’s election in Edo State has three main candidates as the front-runners. Representing the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is Asue Ighodalo. The All Progressives Congress (APC) is fielding Senator Monday Okpebholo, while the Labour Party (LP) candidate is Olumide Akpata.
