Three out of seven construction workers were abducted and later released as Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Office in Orlu Local Government Area of Imo state was again attacked Thursday December 1.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner for Imo State, Professor Sylvia Uchenna Agu, reportedly told INEC headquarters in Abuja that the building was undergoing extensive renovation when the attackers struck.
The INEC LGA office was attacked earlier this year, vandalized and partially set ablaze.
According to a statement obtained this morning, Saturday December 3 from the verified twitter handle of INEC, the damage from Thursday attack, would have been more extensive, if not for the quick response of the Nigeria Police, which deployed its personnel to the site.
The statement signed by the National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee of INEC, Festus Okoye Esq., described the latest attack as one too many, saying the repeated attacks on its facilities, would have negative consequences on the preparations for the February and March 2023 general polls.
