Suspected hoodlums have reportedly burnt down the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Igboeze North Local Government Area of Enugu State.<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that the INEC office situated at the\u00a0council\u2019s headquarters in Ogurute was set on fire on Sunday night, July 3.<\/p>\n

According to report,\u00a0the state fire service in the community could not move in to save the situation for fear of further attacks until security was provided.<\/p>\n

Sources told newsmen that\u00a0by the time security was provided, the fire had completely razed down the building.<\/p>\n

The sad incident has also been confirmed by INEC<\/a> on Monday via a statement signed by its\u00a0national commissioner, information and voter education, Festus Okoye.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the resident electoral commissioner for Enugu state, Emeka Ononamadu,\u00a0reported that the attack happened at 11.48pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Ononamadu said the arsonists overpowered the security guards, forced their way into the premises and set the building ablaze.<\/p>\n

“Although no casualties were reported, 748 ballot boxes, 240 voting cubicles, office furniture and equipment were destroyed in spite of the best effort of the Enugu State Fire Service deployed from Nsukka,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

“The Commission is working to ascertain the status of voter registration machines for the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise as well as uncollected Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) locked up in the fireproof cabinet. The incident has been reported to the\u00a0\u00a0Nigeria Police for investigation and further action.”<\/p>\n

\"Over<\/ins><\/p>\n

\u201cThe attack, coming in the middle of the voter registration exercise and other\u00a0\u00a0preparations for 2023 General Election, is worrisome. It will be recalled that on 23rd May 2021, our office in the neighboring Igboeze South Local Government Area was attacked in a similar manner by unknown gunmen. This followed earlier attacks on Udenu Local Government Area office on 13th May 2021 and the State Headquarters in Enugu on 16th May 2021. The Commission has since substantially recovered from these attacks and resumed normal activities there, including the CVR and collection of PVCs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commission will continue to work with the security agencies and the emergency services to protect our facilities.<\/p>\n
