He revealed that many EFCC operatives are currently undercover in different polling units across Ogun state.

He added that the commission will visit major polling units across the state in ensuring that people did not collect money to vote.

He further said, “The mission of the commission is simple. Like you can see in our vehicles say no to vote-buying.

“The commission in its mandate to ensure that nobody buys or sells his or her votes has mandated operatives of the commission to go round the country. We are in every state of the federation at the moment, moving from polling unit to unit checking to see that everything is going as expected and that nobody is trading his votes by any means.

“So this is basically what the commission is doing. I will be covering everywhere, including the remote area. We’ve got a range where we likely would have covered the majority of states, if not all, as we came in from Abeokuta this morning.

“Some of our officers disguised as undercover in some places to apprehend violators.”
