The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has described Saturday’s local government election in Lagos State as peaceful and orderly.
The Acting Zonal Director of the Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 of the EFCC, ACE I Ahmed Ghali, gave the assessment while monitoring the election process across various polling units in the state.
He said, “From the report and information we have gathered; because our people are everywhere monitoring the situation; everything is going peacefully, and you can see the area is so calm.
“There is no incident report yet, and we are happy with that development.”
He acknowledged minor delays in some areas due to the movement of election materials but described them as understandable.
Ghali also commended the conduct of voters, electoral officials, and security personnel, noting that no signs of malpractice had been observed.
“Everyone is conducting very well. People are coming and going. I have not seen any sign of malpractice and you can see the conduct of the officials is also professional. The security men are alert and doing their job,” he said.
The anti-graft agency said it will continue to observe the election process until voting is concluded.
