Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on election monitoring duty in Kaduna State, on Saturday, came under attack at School Road, Unguwan Rimi in Kaduna metropolis while attempting to arrest a suspected vote buyer.

A statement obtained by LEADERSHIP signed by the Head, Media & Publicity of EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said the team, working on intelligence on the alleged activities of one Kabiru Musa, who was seen in an amateur video allegedly inducing eligible voters by using his phone to transfer money into their accounts as they cast their votes, had mobilised to the scene to arrest the suspect.

He, however, said immediately the suspect was accosted by the operatives, he became unruly and screamed to attract the attention of his syndicate members, who descended on the operatives, using all manner of weapons that left some of them injured.

He added that it took great restraints for the operatives to ignore the unprovoked attack but insisted on arresting the suspect.

“As the team drove away with the suspect, their vehicle was pelted with stones and other dangerous objects that damaged the windshield and three operatives suffered varying degrees of injuries in the process.

“The injured operatives are currently receiving medical attention at the Medical Centre of the Kaduna Zonal Command, while the suspect is in custody, pending conclusion of the investigation.

“It will be recalled that EFCC teams were similarly attacked during the presidential and national assembly elections, leaving some of its vehicles badly damaged,” he added.

According to the statement, reacting to the incident, Executive Chairman of the Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, commended the operatives for exercising great restraint under extreme provocation.

Uwujaren said the EFCC boss, however, appealed to the public to desist from attacking officers of the Commission as such action would no longer be tolerated.
