Operatives of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have uncovered about N65.5 million during a
raid on the Zamfara office of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC).
The recovered funds stacked in
two fire proof safes, were recovered by the EFCC officials of Sokoto zonal
office during a search conducted in offices of the HOD Accounts and Cashier of
the INEC, Zamfara State.
In a statement made available to
the public, the anti-graft agency noted that the recovered funds, N65,548,000
in total, comprises 81 bundle of N1000 notes, 97 bundles of N500 notes and 96
pieces of N500 notes.
The money, according to the EFCC,
is suspected to be 40% illegally deducted on funds released to the INEC office
in Zamfara, to cater for the rent of canopies, tables and chairs, as well as
funds for Registration Area Center (RAC) and movement of men and materials to
polling units, by the HOD Accounts & Cashier.
The commission said the suspects
would be arraigned in court as soon as investigation is completed.
