Oru Leonard

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has reported another attack on its facility which occurred on Thursday.

A  statement made available to News Dot Africa said that the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Imo State, Professor Sylvia Uchenna Agu, reported that the office in Orlu Local Government Area was attacked on Thursday 1st December, 2022.

The building, which is undergoing extensive renovation following an earlier attack, was vandalised and partially set ablaze.

Three out of seven construction workers were abducted but later released.

The damage would have been more extensive but for the quick response of the Nigeria Police which has deployed its personnel to the site.

“This is one attack too many. The Commission once again expresses its concern over the spate of attacks on its facilities and the negative consequences on our preparations for the 2023 General Election.” INEC lamented.
