The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in charge of the 2015 Rivers
governorship election, Gesila Khan has reportedly made confessions in
custody of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The REC had been arrested by the zonal office of the EFCC alongside four
others on Thursday, April 14 and the anti graft agency reports that over
N675.1m has been discovered in the bank accounts of different electoral
officers in Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Delta states.

Reports say the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) received and shared the said amount during the last gubernatorial
election.

The Punch reports that Khan had been questioned by the Department of
State Security (DSS) in July, 2015, but had no charges against her.
In the recent arrest, however, the residences of all the suspects were
searched and incriminating documents were said to have been recovered by
the commission.

Khan, who has since been deployed to Cross River state, was reported to
have received N185.8m ahead of the March 28 and April 11, 2015,
elections.

A reliable source with the EFCC revealed that Khan made confessional
statements where it was gathered that she received the money through a
special bank account.

“Khan was the REC in Rivers State in 2015 election before she was
transferred to Cross River early this year. She was said to have received
N185.8m. She has made confessional statements,” the source revealed.

anti graft agency alongside his alleged accomplice, Immaculata Asuquo, who
is the head, voter education of INEC in Akwa Ibom.

The source at the EFCC added that “Essanga received N241.1m during the
general election. He admitted receiving the money and confirmed sharing
it with different ad hoc workers during the election. His accomplice
Asuquo has also been arrested.”

Fidelia Omoile, who was the INEC electoral officer in Isoko-south local
government area of Delta, was also picked up and apart the over N112m
traced to her, EFCC also recovered some sensitive electoral materials.
“She received N112.4m during the 2015 general election. A search warrant
was executed at her residences in Asaba and Benin.

“Sensitive materials used in the 2015 elections were recovered, including
evidence of the suspicious bank transaction and land documents that will
assist us in our investigations,” the anonymous EFCC source revealed.
INEC’s administrative secretary in Delta, Oluchi Obi-Brown, was among those
picked up and investigations by EFCC showed that she allegedly received
over N111m and had about $75,000 in an account in the United States.
The source added that “Oluchi received N111.5m during the general
election. Investigations showed that she operates a foreign account with
the Bank of America. As of February this year, the account balance was
$75,857, (N24, 274,240),” explaining further that the total amount found in
the bank accounts of the INEC officials stands at N675.1m.
And according to the anonymous source, the commission was banking on
the confessional statements to catch the ‘big fish’.

Still waiting to find out how nearly 2million people voted in Kano without a single void vote>>>Miracle

Wow...

The truth is that APC has not root or bearing in Rivers, with or without any interference APC can never win ward election, the mere mention of APC irritates them.
Amaechi is political inconsequential in Rivers.

Continue w-hunting! 4years is gradually running out, Senators are taken delivery of their SUVs while the poor masses are watching helplessly.

Come to think of it! Why is it that EFCC has not trace the account of INEC officials that conducted the same election in Kano State? Well, if you look at its activities during Baba Obasanjor, Frm President Jonathan and what its doing now, any reason person should be able to know how he/she regards EFCC.

INEC wey hausa people full like dust na only southerners efcc dey shadow....
So all d elections wey hapen fo all northern parasitic states no single case of malpractice but na only ND and Ekiti buhari de focus?
Yeye people!!

An APC candidate was openly demanding a refund from INEC Official in the just concluded Rivers State "Legislatorship" elections rerun and the Government and law enforcement agencies overlooked it because it was all about sacred cows who can't be held responsible for their actions.

Aluko confessions about lying under oath is being swept under the carpet on the premise of my enemy's enemy is my friend.

Can all these distractions ever stop?
It is either Ekiti, Rivers, Akwaibom, Delta or Bayelsa.

APC should control the preferences of their lap dogs, EFCC and DSS to avoid overheating the polity.

I am a firm believer of taking responsibility for ones actions either to suffer or to ripe the consequences but Justice must be blindfolded and administered equally on every social class, group, people or person in a way that seems balanced, incorrigible (uncontrollable) and consistent.

Rubbish!! Imagine the states investigated Delta Rivers etc no mention of Osun Lagos Kano etc
