The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFC C says it is not in custody of a pregnant woman in connection with the recently concluded Ekiti governorship election held on the 18th of June this year.
The anti graft agency disclosed that all the suspects in its custody were being held by court order over allegations of vote buying during the the Governorship poll in the State.
This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Ilorin by the EFCC Spokesperson, Mr Wilson Uwujaren.
Uwajaren dismissed speculations that a pregnant woman was among the suspects arrested on allegation of vote buying during the Ekiti governorship election.
He said, “A pregnancy test conducted on all the female suspects arrested during the election at the State Hospital in Ilorin was negative.
“Earlier tests conducted in a private hospital also revealed negative results for all the female suspects.”
Uwajaren added that all the suspects were detained based on lawful order of court, pending the conclusion of investigations.
According to him, the suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations were concluded.
The EFCC spokesperson also urged the public to ignore the alleged mistreatment of the suspects.
