Another INEC office in Igboeze South council area of Enugu State has been set ablaze by hoodlums.

This attack is coming one week after the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was set ablaze in Enugu.

It was gathered that the hoodlums who launched the attack at about 11 pm, set ablaze the building as well.

Enugu State Chief Fire Officer, Engr. Okwudili Ohaa who confirmed the incident to newsmen, said, “There was a fire outbreak at INEC Office, Ibagwa in Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area late last night. “We responded promptly, the situation is under control and we have extinguished the fire.”

However, INEC Chairman, Mahmud Yakubu, had disclosed that further attacks on INEC offices across the country might hinder the preparation of the 2023 election
