EDITOR’S PICK:

EKO HOT BLOG reports that unknown arsonists set fire to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) building in Enugu State’s Igboeze North Local Government Area.

The office, which is located inside the council’s Ogurute headquarters, caught fire late on Sunday night, completely consuming the afflicted structure.

It was learnt that the state fire service, which has an office in Ogurute, was unable to intervene to stop the situation from getting worse until security was put in place.

Sources in the area said that by the time security was provided, the fire had completely razed down the building.

The sources added that the only thing the two fire trucks from Nsukka and Ogurute were able to do was to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby offices.

Since the outbreak of violence in the area over a month ago, there has been heavy security presence in the area to check the continued attacks but the battle has continued to linger.
