EFCC operatives storm venue of APC presidential convention
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have stormed the Eagle Square venue of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Special Convention in Abuja.
The officials went around the convention venue before finally taking strategic positions. The officials, however, declined to comment when approached by a correspondent at the convention.
EFCC officials had made a similar appearance at the PDP special convention in Abuja on May 28, but did not make any arrest.
The visit might not be unconnected with recent social media reports indicating that delegates were paid hugely by presidential aspirants for votes at the convention.
