Criminals have burnt down the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Igboeze North Local Government Area of Enugu State.
The office situated at the council’s headquarters in Ogurute was totally destroyed on Sunday night.
It was reported that the state fire service which has an office at Ogurute could not move in to save the situation for fear of further attacks until security was provided.
However, by the time security was provided, the fire had completely razed down the building and over 700 Ballot boxes were destroyed in the inferno.
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.
