The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) on Saturday urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to prosecute all those involved in vote-buying in the Ekiti State governorship election.
The group was reacting to the arrest of some people by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (INEC) for alleged involvement in vote-buying during the election.
