The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Sokoto Zonal Office, has arrested four officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for alleged diverting over N84.6 million which was marked out for ad Hoc staff allowances.

This information was made known to the public on Wednesday through a statement by EFCC spokesman, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, made available to the commission’s Sokoto Zonal Office.

The petition that led to the arrest It was from one Abdullahi Nasiru who wrote on behalf of all presiding officers that worked for INEC during the 2019 General elections in Zamfara State.

It was gathered that the Adhoc staff were not paid their N6,000 movement allowance each for the two elections.

It was also discovered that what the Commission paid to the Adhoc staff was different from what other states paid their Adhoc staff. The Commision allegedly paid its staff the sum of N9,000 in Zamfara while other states like Sokoto State, the commission paid N12,000.

When investigation was carried out by the EFCC, it was discovered that none of the 10,500 presiding officers who participated in the elections were paid their entitlements grossly amounting to N84,696,000,

Those arrested were Hassan Aliyu, Administrative Secretary, Hussain Jafar, Head of Operations, Abdullahi Abubakar, Accountant and Abdulmumin Usman all officials of INEC in Zamfara state.

Uwujaren said that the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations were concluded.

Which witch-hunting INEC?
If you had worked during the election you'd understand why we think EFCC try for this one.

Fear Nor...

Nice one Efcc no looter shall go scot free, nor be only the average Nigerians dem go dey arrest every time .

Who won Sokoto election maybe PDP is in charge

EFCC and corruption

opalu:
If you ask me, INEC should have an internal mechanism for fighting corruption within its system. EFCC can easily be used as a ploy to force the INDEPENDENT commission to dance to their tunes before gubernatorial elections as we have upcoming in Kogi and Bayelsa.
My question to EFCC is that why do you have to wait to the heels of every election to make emergency arrests? That is anti democratic in my view. Because that action alone puts all the RECS and Commissioners under undue fear.

Well nobody asked you, next time keep quiet and let those with sense talk.
10k plus Nigerians left their families and the comfort of their houses to work as ad hoc staff for election, endangering their lives. Two people kept the money meant for them. They were arrested so as to be prosecuted for such an heinous evil selfish deed,and you say EFCC shouldn't have arrested them,INEC should be the one to handle it?
I am not surprised,you people have a penchant for corruption, that's why you make fake drugs and sell,not minding the numerous lives that will be lost. That's why you support Pdp like your destiny depends on it.
Hypocrites,as long as anything is associated with this government,you hate it and want to fail,so that you can console yourselves that your unbridled hatred for Buhari is justified.
One day you or your children or their children will work and suffer, but someone else will take the fruit of their labour,while they go home empty handed to their hungry kids, maybe then you will stop supporting evil.
On Sunday,you carry Bible to church say you are serving God ? Some of you are so evil that,you are too bad to serve Satan,spits
