Gunmen burn INEC office in Imo again
Confirming the incident via a statement, INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, said the building, which was undergoing extensive renovation following an earlier attack, was vandalised and partially set ablaze by the gunmen.
Okoye, who noted that the commission’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Imo State, Prof. Sylvia Uchenna Agu, reported the incident on Thursday, said three out of seven construction workers were abducted but were later released.
The INEC official stated that the damage would have been more extensive but for the quick response of the police operatives deployed to the scene of the incident.
Describing the incident as “one attack too many,” Okoye expressed concerns over the spate of attacks on INEC’s facilities and the negative consequences on the electoral umpire’s preparations for the 2023 general election.
