Ekiti Election: EFCC Denies Holding Pregnant Woman In Custody
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has clarified that it did not arrest a pregnant woman during the June 18 governorship election in Ekiti State.
In a statement signed by the commission’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren in Ilorin, he said all the suspects in its custody were being held by court order over allegations of vote buying during the poll.
The spokesman stated that speculations that a pregnant woman was among the suspects were untrue.
“A pregnancy test conducted on all the female suspects arrested during the election at the State Hospital in Ilorin was negative.
