THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has concluded arrangements to prosecute a Deputy Director of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in Akwa Ibom State, and former Electoral Officer in Rivers State, Gogo Waribo for bribe taking.

Waribo allegedly collected N16 million out of the N23 billion slush fund linked to Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke, allegedly paid out by the former Petroleum Minister with a view to influencing the outcome of the 2015 general election.

He was arrested by EFCC operatives following intelligence report that some INEC officers conspired with some staff  of a second generation bank to defraud the Federal Government of several billions of naira.
