The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has deployed officers to the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, to monitor the 2023 general election.
This was disclosed via a statement issued on Wednesday by the EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren.
The chairman of the anti-graft agency, Abdulrasheed Bawa, charged the officers to be conscious of the interest of the nation and to exhibit a high sense of professionalism in the discharge of their duties.
“You are out on a national assignment and I expect you to conduct yourselves responsibly in line with our core values of professionalism, integrity, and courage.

“You have a responsibility to ensure that this election is devoid of financial malpractices, especially inducement of voters. The attention of the world is focused on Nigeria and we must do what is necessary to ensure that we have credible, free, and fair elections,” Bawa stated.
Apart from the teams deployed across the country, the EFCC also released incidents reporting hotlines for the 36 states of the federation and the FCT.
The EFCC urged Nigerians to report any case of vote buying or selling, or other evidence of financial malpractices designed to compromise the electoral outcome through the hotlines.
“Members of the public can also report anyone trying to buy or sell votes by making use of the EFCC financial crimes reporting App, Eagle Eye, which is available for download on the Google Play or Apple store.
“Additionally, the public can reach the Commission through our social media handle,” Uwujaren noted.
