The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has confirmed a notable incidence of vote-buying with cash and bank transfers across many states and Abuja during the just-concluded presidential and National Assembly elections.
The cases were recorded in “many states including Delta, Lagos, and the FCT,” according to NBA’s interim report on the elections released on Wednesday.
Nigeria went into the first phase of the general elections on 25 February amid an excruciating scarcity of currency notes across the country.
