Original: OsazuwaAkonedo NewsChronicles ~ Anyone Gives You Money To Compromise Edo Election, Arrest Him – Nigeria Chief Of Defence
Nigeria's Chief of Defence Staff has ordered soldiers deployed for the Edo State election to arrest anyone who offers them money to compromise the vote. The directive was issued ahead of the governorship poll in Benin and is being circulated as a strong warning against electoral bribery and vote-buying involving security personnel.
Why now: The Edo governorship election is imminent and the military's tough anti-bribery order is a notable intervention in debates over election integrity.
