INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION INEC - HEADQUARTERS Plot 436, Zambezi Crescent, Maitama District, P.M.B 0184, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. Website: www.inecnigena.org Online Newspaper.www_Inecnews.com PRESS RELEASE

FIRE AT INEC DATA PROCESSING CENTRE IN KANO

On 20th April 2021 the Resident Electoral Commissioner for Kano State, Prof. Riskuwa Shehu, reported a fire incident at the INEC Data Processing Centre (DPC) located at the premises of the Commission's state office in Kano. The fire started around 10.15am and engulfed the said DPC before it was contained by the Federal Fire Service.

The Staff made spirited efforts to bring the fire under control using fire extinguishers, but they were overwhelmed until the arrival of officers of the Federal Fire Service who subsequently quenched the fire.

The physical items burnt include Industrial Printers used for the printing hard copies of the voter register, Laser Jet Printers, Dell and Blade repositories containing soft copies of the voters' register for the State, Desk Top Computers, Laptops for training, inverters and other accessories and fittings.

Fortunately, all the data in the Voter Register for the State, as well as all other sensitive documents of the State Office are backed up offsite and therefore safe. They will be recovered swiftly.

We assure members of the public that this incident will not in any way affect the operations of the Commission.

Investigation into the cause of the fire incident has commenced and measures will be put in place to avert future occurrence.
The Commission appreciates the concerns of the stakeholders about the incident.

Festus Okoye Esq National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee Tuesday 20th April 2021.

Lol

They sha want to burn down all the infrastructure in this country......

Continue, manufacture new data

First time since 2015, I'm reading a positive response from anything govt related!

I was hoping to hear that the cloud backed up data was burnt beyond recognition!

Blame buhari

I smell foul play.

Hope they won't use this opportunity to double the numbers of voters. Because I don't trust this country and our civil service.

Election is near! Lol

Did you know??


Don’t compare yourself with anyone in this world. If you do so, you are insulting yourself - Bill Gates

Liars... Kano will soon reach 10million registered voters! Restructure this country

Double lol

I just knw say fire must burn inec center for kano

This Kano is big and empty I drove for 3 hours across Kano outside the Kano main town you hardly find people or settlements just animals and herdsmen and some farmers that's all

As someone who has lived in both Kano and Lagos I still do not believe Kano has more people than Lagos

I am not Igbo or Hausa or Yoruba I'm just a neutral observer, observing something fishy going on

Kano produces lots of food but their local market does not consume half or even a quarter of what they send to Lagos state, almost everything they produce is shipped out in Truck loads

So inec, I want to see you guys Carry out voter registration and verification infact link BVN's to sim registration and voters registration and NIMC abi NIN let's see something stop burning INEC office so you can use that as excuse to not follow due process and carry out due diligence

They don start again

Chemical reaction.....

2023 on point. Extra millions and fictious names and voters card on point.

Only a fool thinks it is ordunary.

Private hotels, private homes and private firms don't get burnt in our korrapt country.

CBN, ASO, FIRS have all been torched by political arsonist.

A new chairman is about to emerge

Don't be deceived by what you want to hear


They have done the havock and deleting of crucial documents they intended to

The mathematics is clear... Burn kano inec office, do new registration with inflated numbers of voters registered then use it to rig 2023 presidential election for the choice candidate of malu empire
