The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has deployed its operatives to monitor the conduct of Local Government Elections across Lagos State, as part of efforts to curb vote buying and ensure strict compliance with electoral laws.
Led by the Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 and Chief of Staff to the Executive Chairman, CE Michael Nzekwe, and acting Director, Lagos Directorate 2, Ahmed Ghali, the EFCC operatives monitored polling activities in several key areas across the state.
The Commission’s visible presence at the grassroots level underscored its commitment to promoting transparency, accountability, and institutional vigilance in Nigeria’s electoral processes.
Reports from the field indicated that the election exercise was largely peaceful, with many voters expressing appreciation for the EFCC’s proactive intervention.
The EFCC’s collaboration with other security agencies was also acknowledged, with the Commission playing a critical role in maintaining order and deterring electoral malpractices, particularly vote buying, which has plagued past elections.
The joint effort is expected to ensure a free, fair, and credible electoral process in Lagos State.
