Unknown hoodlums have burnt down the office of the Independent Electoral Commissioner (INEC) in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu on Sunday morning.

A source revealed that the arsonists climbed through the perimeter fence to gain access into the compound and set the building ablaze.

The fire which started in the early hours of Sunday did substantial damage to the Office, even as the quick response of the Fire Service helped to salvage the situation.

The Fire Service Station in Ozalla were said to have responded quickly giving credence to the establishment of Fire stations in local government areas by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

This might be the resurgence of attacks on INEC Offices which had stopped after the state Headquarters in Enugu and some local areas like Udenu Office, were torched.
