Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested an outdoor advertisement executive over a political advertisement about the 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

The advert on two billboards in Enugu State had the name and logo of the commission.<\/p>\n

The messages on the boards sited at Otigba and Zik Avenue junctions threatened some politicians over the general polls.<\/p>\n

One of the messages reads: \u201c2023: Enugu PDP Learn From 2007 Election\u2026 EFCC IS COMING WITH KOBOKO ON CORRUPT CANDIDATES.\u201d<\/p>\n

A statement on Sunday by the spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, said operatives arrested Baron Nnamdi, the alleged designer, printer and owner of the billboards.<\/p>\n

Nnamdi claimed he was contracted by a media aide to a former Enugu deputy governor who is in the governorship race.<\/p>\n

The suspect said he was paid N160,000 for the one week campaign and that the aide supplied him with the messages, EFCC logo and pictures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe commission visited the two sites and pulled down the offensive advertisement\u201d, Uwajaren noted.<\/p>\n

The statement warned politicians to play by the rules and refrain from dragging the EFCC \u201cinto the political fray\u201d.<\/p>\n

The anti-graft agency vowed to \u201cbring the full weight of the law to bear on errant politicians\u201d who impersonate.<\/p>\n
