The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
arrested an outdoor advertisement executive over a political advertisement
about the 2023 elections.
The advert on two billboards in Enugu State had the name and
logo of the commission.
The messages on the boards sited at Otigba and Zik Avenue
junctions threatened some politicians over the general polls.
One of the messages reads: “2023: Enugu PDP Learn From 2007
Election… EFCC IS COMING WITH KOBOKO ON CORRUPT CANDIDATES.”
A statement on Sunday by the spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren,
said operatives arrested Baron Nnamdi, the alleged designer, printer and owner
of the billboards.
Nnamdi claimed he was contracted by a media aide to a former
Enugu deputy governor who is in the governorship race.
The suspect said he was paid N160,000 for the one week
campaign and that the aide supplied him with the messages, EFCC logo and
pictures.
“The commission visited the two sites and pulled down the
offensive advertisement”, Uwajaren noted.
The statement warned politicians to play by the rules and
refrain from dragging the EFCC “into the political fray”.
The anti-graft agency vowed to “bring the full weight of the
law to bear on errant politicians” who impersonate.
