EFCC Officials Conduct Brief Investigation in Matawalle’s Hometown During Election Day

Officials from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) conducted a brief investigation in Maradun town, the headquarters of Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State on Saturday. Maradun is the hometown of Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Mohammed Matawalle, who is seeking re-election under the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

The EFCC officials arrived in a Hilux vehicle and loitered around the town before parking near the governor's residence. However, they left the vicinity after a few minutes. The reason for their presence in the town is currently unclear.

The investigation occurred during the accreditation of voters in several polling units across the state, where voters were lined up waiting for the commencement of voting.
