Allegation
Petitioners alleged that Yobe's INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Abu Zarma, received a ₦15 million bribe — ₦8 million into a Diamond Bank account and ₦7 million into Zenith Bank accounts — paid on 8 April 2015, three days before the governorship election, by Gaidam's Aide-de-Camp, to influence the result.
Outcome / Status
The allegation was raised as part of the broader 2015 election petition dispute; no independently confirmed criminal conviction over the specific bribery claim was found in available reporting.
