INEC office in Nwaorubi in Mbaitoli
LGA of Imo State was raised down by fire in the early hours of today at about
1.30am.
Speaking on the incident, the state
Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) Gabriel Ada, said all the sensitive and
insensitive materials kept in the building were destroyed in the fire.
Mr Gabriel said that the fire might
be due to an electric spark from a generating set.
He said although the fire did not
destroy the card readers meant for next Saturday’s governorship election, the
fire incident might cause a little hitch during the governorship elections
which is to hold next Saturday April 11th.
He however promised that the agency
would do everything possible to ensure that all materials, sensitive and non
sensitive, needed for the governorship election is replaced.
