Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission were chased away by angry voters at Polling Unit 10, Ward B, in Iyin-Ekiti during the ongoing 2026 Ekiti State governorship election.
The anti-graft team arrived at the polling unit while voting was actively in progress to monitor and crack down on suspected vote-buying activities.
However, their presence provoked stiff resistance from the crowd, with voters openly confronting the officials, questioning their deployment, and demanding their immediate departure.
Insisting that there was absolutely no evidence of financial malpractice at their station, the confrontational voters successfully forced the operatives to leave the scene, allowing the voting process to continue without any further interruption.
The drama unfolded amidst a wave of massive vote-buying allegations rocking the governorship race across different parts of Ekiti State.
Although the Independent National Electoral Commission and various anti-corruption bodies repeatedly warned against voter inducement, widespread manipulation has been reported.
