Security operatives in Kaduna State have arrested a man accused of coordinating vote buying ahead of today’s bye-elections.
According to the spokesman of the Kaduna State Police Command, DSP Mansir Hassan, the suspect, identified as Shehu Patangi, was picked up early Saturday morning at a hotel along Turunku Road in Kaduna metropolis.
 He was allegedly in charge of distributing money to influence voters in the Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency bye election.

The Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Muhammad, praised the swift collaboration with other security agencies and warned that anyone caught trying to disrupt the electoral process would face the full weight of the law.
