The police on Friday vowed to tackle the menace of vote-buying and vote-selling during the governorship election in Ekiti State billed for Saturday.
Revealing how they intend to achieve this, a Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Mr. Johnson Kokumo, hinted that the force would rely majorly on information gathering.
“The buyer and the seller are always in mutual agreement toward what they intend to do.
“We will rely heavily on information; we will rely heavily on intel. A seller of the vote will not invite the police or make it known in public that he wants to sell his vote. The buyer will equally not make it known to the police that he wants to buy votes; so, it is always something that is done in total secrecy”, the Police Chief said during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily in Ado, the Ekiti State capital.
