Another building belonging to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Enugu, has been razed by fire barely one week after the headquarters was set ablaze.
It was learnt that the office situated at Ibeagwa town, was attacked on Sunday night by invaders who set the fire at about 11 pm.
The Nation reports that efforts to speak with the Enugu INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Emeka Ononamadu and the INEC spokesman in Enugu, Pius Eze failed as calls put to their phones were not responded to.
Confirming the incident, Enugu State Chief Fire Officer, Engr. Okwudili Ohaa 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.”
The latest incident was the third INEC office to be attacked and burnt by hoodlums in less than one month in Enugu State.
The first casualty was that of Orba in Udenu Local Government Area where extensive damage was recorded.
