30

Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Saturday invaded booth 003 Umucaram Amaraku in Isiala Mbano council area of Imo over alleged vote-buying.

The anti- graft agency, in company of combined security agencies, stormed the election value and interrogated Mr Obinna Onwubuariri, candidate of PDP in the rerun election.

INEC had fixed Jan. 25 for the rerun of Okigwe North Federal constituency following nullification of the election by an appeal court.

However, the EFCC told NAN that they stormed the election venue to investigate allegation of vote-buying against the PDP candidate.

They also attempted to arrest a police orderly attached to Onwubuariri but for the intervention of some military officials.

Obinna is serving as the member representing Okigwe North Federal constituency at the National Assembly.

Meanwhile, there was general voter apathy in the rerun election.
