DSS Arrest Man with Bags of Ca$h during Ondo Guber Election
Men of the Department of State Services (DSS) have apprehended a suspected vote buyer in the ongoing Ondo governorship election today.
Newera News gathered that the man was arrested on election day at ward 4, polling unit 007, outside St Stephen’s Primary School, Akure.
Television footage showed the operatives and passers-by bellowing on the man to open the boot of his Toyota Camry car.
As soon as he opened his boot, two ‘Ghana-must-go’ bags were sighted.
The bags were not opened before the cameras as a mob encircled.
The DSS operatives then shoved the man into a white bus from where he was taken away.

Vote-buying has become common place in Nigeria’s elections. Civil society organisations continue to bemoan the trend where agents of political parties carry cash to polling units to induce voters to cast their ballots a certain way.
Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the All Progressives Congress, Agboola Ajayi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Abbas Mimiko of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) are the prominent candidates in the election.
