A Local Government office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Ohafia in Abia state was Sunday night set ablaze by hoodlums. Important electoral materials as well as office equipment went up in flames, but among the guards and other staff of the electoral body present, there were no casualties. This was disclosed on Monday by the INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Barr. Festus Okoye. According to him, the Resident Electoral Commissioner for the State, Dr. Joseph Iloh had reported that INEC’s recently renovated office in the local government was set ablaze on Sunday night. “There are no casualties on the part of our staff on guard duty but the building was virtually destroyed. Apart from furniture items, all electoral materials and office equipment were destroyed”, he stated. The fire in its Abia office isn’t the only incident in recent times, as INEC’s office in Essien Udim Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State had also been attacked last week.
