The Kano Zonal Commander of EFCC, Farouk Dogondaji, made this known during an interview with TrackNews in Kano.
Dogondaji said that the deployment was part of EFCC’s commitment towards ensuring transparent and credible 2023 elections in the zone.
He 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.
“The remaining [fifty] officers were deployed to Malam Aminu Kano International airport in Kano and the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Airport in Katsina.”
According to Dogondaji, the commission has enough personnel on standby, adding that they are battle ready for any threat, even during and after the election.
