The deployment is part of EFCC’s commitment to ensuring transparent and credible 2023 elections in the zone, Dogondaji said.
“We have deployed fifty personnel to monitor the conduct of the election in Kano State, fifty in Jigawa State, and fifty in Katsina State to prevent vote buying throughout the electoral process.” He said.
The remaining [fifty] officers were deployed to Malam Aminu Kano International airport in Kano and the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Airport in Katsina.
