Bawa, forfeiture, EFCC

Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, the Economic Financial and Crimes Commission has disclosed that it’s working with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to enforce the Electoral Act.

According to the anti-graft agency’s boss Abdulrashid Bawa, it is collaborating with the electoral body and other relevant stakeholders to preserve the integrity of the electoral process at the polls.

Bawa made this revelation while delivering a goodwill message at the opening of a workshop on Financial Crimes Reporting organised by the commission.

He said EFCC would make sure the Electoral Act is fully enforced, noting that the commission would work towards bringing to justice those who seek to influence voters through financial inducement.

Bawa said “On our part, we are working in close collaboration with the Independent National Electoral Commission, and other stakeholders to preserve the integrity of the electoral process.

“We will ensure that the Electoral Act is fully enforced and those who seek to influence voters through financial inducement are brought to justice.”
