The local government office of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC in Kaura Namoda, Zamfara State, North-West Nigeria has been gutted by fire.
The inferno which started at about 9pm on Monday reportedly razed the entire building, as firefighters battle to put out the fire but could not due to lack of water in their tank.
