Weeks to Nigeria’s general election, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC says its office in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, has been set ablaze

The commission in a statement by its national commissioner, Festus Okoye, said the Resident Electoral Commissioner for Anambra State, Queen Elizabeth Agwu, said 729 ballot boxes, 243 voting cubicles, and 256 election bags, were destroyed

According to the statement, the building was substantially damaged with 11 megaphones, 1 electric power generator, large quantities of indelible ink, liquid gum, and various furniture were all destroyed.

Okoye, however, said uncollected Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) kept in the fireproof cabinet were not affected by the blaze and no sensitive materials have been delivered to the local government, adding that the destruction appears to be linked to the attack on the nearby Nnobi police station.

he assured the people of Idemili South local government that contingency arrangements will be made to replace the materials and the presidential and national assembly elections will hold on 25 February 2023 as scheduled, to be followed two weeks later by the state house of assembly election.
