Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested 14 suspected vote buyers in Otueke, Adawari playgrounds in Bayelsa State and at various polling units in Imo and Kogi states during the election exercise on Saturday.
They were arrested in intelligence-driven operations that commenced several days before the ongoing governorship elections in the three states.
Also, a total sum of N11,040, 000 comprising N9,310,00 intercepted from suspected vote buyers and sellers in Bayelsa and N1,730, 000 intercepted from electoral fraud suspects across Imo State, were also recovered from them.
Also, two vehicles were intercepted from the suspects.
They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded, it was gathered.
