EFCC arrests Kwara accountant-general over ‘N1.5bn vote buying’
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Suaiman Ishola, accountant-general of Kwara state, for allegedly setting aside N1.5 billion for vote buying.
A source at the commission disclosed this to TheCable on Friday evening.
The arrest of Ishola comes after that of Uzoho Casmir, accountant-general of Imo, who allegedly laundered N1 billion for Rochas Okorocha, the governor.
The commission said the money was meant for inducing voters during the state assembly and governorship elections.
