Acting Commander, Ilorin Zonal Office, Michael Nzekwe, said: “Majority of the people arrested were directly involved in vote-buying.

“Our mandate at the commission is to ensure that money influence in politics is totally eradicated.

“We got credible intelligence and we acted on the intelligence.

“Some of the arrests were made in Omu-Aran, Ilorin South and Ilorin West.

“We were all over the 16 local government areas.

“We recovered huge sums of cash and point of sales (POS) machines.

“We are still investigating the matter. After the investigation, we will strictly follow the provisions of the law.”
