Some electorate have faulted the style of operation deployed by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) in discharging their duty in the ongoing governorship election in Edo.
It was reported that some operatives of the EFCC on Saturday stormed polling units in Benin in a bid to avert vote buying.
According to one Eric Elijah, the EFCC should have operated as under cover agents without wearing their uniforms or any of their paraphernalia.
“That way, they will be able to intercept vote buyers. But with the way they came now, everyone knows that these are EFCC people, so even the vote buyers adjusted.”
Elijah also said that the operatives should have been at the polling booth much earlier to catch “red handed” those indulging in the act.
At Oredo ward 3, Ezomon Primary School, the electorate, noted that the operatives of the EFCC should have been at their various duty post on time.
They opined that it would have been apt for the operatives from the commencement of the voting exercise and not appear almost few hours to the end of voting.
