Another office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Isu Local Government Area (LGA) of Imo state has been vandalised by hoodlums.
A spokesperson for INEC, Festus Okoye, said this in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday.
According to Okoye, this was the fourth attack in the state, after that of Orlu and Oru West LGA, as well as the State Headquarters in Owerri.
He said that the state INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Professor Sylvia Agu, reported the attack on Tuesday, adding that eight windows were smashed and burglary proofs removed.
“Fortunately, the attackers could not access the building, and movable and immovable equipment as well as other materials were not removed or vandalised.
“However, as a precautionary measure, critical materials such as ballot boxes and voting cubicles have been evacuated to another INEC facility for safe keeping.
“Similarly, all uncollected PVCs have been secured, while security will be deployed to ensure the continuous collection of the cards by registered voters in the same premises,” he said.
