Again, hoodlums set another INEC office ablaze in Enugu

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.”

Ohaa added that it was only one room that was affected by the fire.

Meanwhile, the Enugu INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Emeka Ononamadu and the INEC spokesman in Enugu, Pius Eze, are yet to say anything about the incident.

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