In order to keep an eye on how the general elections in 2023 are going, officials from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have been sent to the 36 states of the Federation as well as the Federal Capital Territory.
Abdulrasheed Bawa, the Executive Chairman of the Commission, issued a statement on Wednesday urging the employees to consider the nation’s best interests.
Additionally, he instructed the employees to carry out their responsibilities with a high level of professionalism.
Bawa said, “You are out on a public task and I anticipate that you should act mindfully in accordance with our basic beliefs of amazing skill, trustworthiness and fortitude.

In the meantime, the 36 states of the Federation and the FCT have their own hotlines for reporting incidents.
Through these hotlines, the Commission urged the public to report any instances of vote buying or selling or other evidence of financial malpractice intended to influence the outcome of an election.
Eagle Eye, the EFCC’s financial crimes reporting app, can be downloaded from the Google Play or Apple store and used by the general public to report anyone attempting to buy or sell votes.
