However in a Facebook post by the commission, it read, “While trying to arrest him, officers of the Commission were attacked and vehicles vandalised. Information gathered confirms that the money belongs to Emmanuel Jimeh, the gubernatorial candidate of the APC in Benue state.”
But the APC governorship candidate, Emmanuel Jime denied any link with the report.
“Am getting this information from you, am not aware of such incident, at the time I cast my vote media both local and foreign interviewed me in the presence of the people and thereafter I returned to my house.
“You can see that all my vehicles are available so I felt like coming home to relax after casting my vote,” Jime said.
