The anti-graft agency said it recovered a total of N17,218,700 from the suspects during coordinated operations across the six area councils.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the commission disclosed that the suspects were apprehended for offences ranging from vote-buying and vote-selling to obstruction of electoral officers.
