As disclosed in a statement issued on the commission’s official X handle, EFCC described the deployment as part of its concerted efforts to ensure electoral integrity and tackle voter’s inducement.
In his address to the operatives, the Executive Chairman of the commission, Ola Olukoyede, charged the officers to ensure strict surveillance across all the council areas and prevent incidents of vote buying and other electoral malpractices.
