The Independent National Electoral Commission has said that its office in Essien Udim Local Government Area in Akwa Ibom State has been set ablaze.

This was disclosed in a statement issued on Sunday by the National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye Esq.

The statement said the security guard at the INEC office escaped unhurt, stressing that the buidling and properties suffered extensive destruction.

INEC, however, revealed that an investigation by the police into the incident has commenced.

The statement read, “The Resident Electoral Commissioner for Akwa Ibom State, Barr. Mike Igini, has reported that our office in Essien Udim Local Government Area has been set ablaze.

“The incident occurred in the early hours of this morning, Sunday 2nd May 2021. Our security guard on duty escaped unhurt but the destruction to the building and properties therein was extensive. Items destroyed include 345 ballot boxes, 135 voting cubicles, megaphones, water tanks and office furniture.

“The police, which has also been battling with attacks on its facilities and personnel in the area, is aware of the incident and has commenced investigation.


“It will be recalled that on the eve of the 2019 General Election, our newly constructed prototype LGA office in Ibesikpo Asutan was burnt down while two more offices in Mkpat Enin and Eastern Obolo LGAS were bombed.

“The recent attack on our facility after we have just concluded the inventory of electoral materials nationwide in readiness for the 2023 General Election is worrisome. If unchecked, these attacks may constitute a setback on the Commission’s preparations, including the ongoing conversion of Voting Points to Polling Units, the forthcoming Continuous Registration of Voters (CVR) exercise and the conduct of polls.

“Nevertheless, the Commission wishes to assure Nigerians that we will leave no stone unturned to recover from the incident in Akwa Ibom State as we continue to prepare for all electoral activities.

"There is life outside Nairaland"
The statement above is for those that are deceived by "we the SS crooners" and "I am from SS and we are not Biafrans" noisemakers. Those confusing you people are hiding in Lagos and other dens in Afonja land typing nonsense.
Some even add local dialect to buttress their confusion but in reality they have never stepped foot into their village to check what's up.
Now that the show down is real, they should get off Internet and confront them with their own guns not disturbing us.
In Nairaland, there are people from SS that are against Biafra and hate Igbo people with passion but in reality, there is nothing like SS apart from Bayelsa and parts of Delta state (Warri axis) that openly use the term but the rest are core Biafrans, more dedicated to struggle than Ndigbo

Hmmmm, o n ru bo

Blame UGM

Is getting hotter

South south is burning



Cut down the trees now.

This is just terrible, the country is burning while the clueless guy in aso rock does nothing....

DECENTRALIZE ALL ELECTIONEERING PROCESSES. LET EACH STATE CONTROL ITS OWN REPRESENTATIONAL DEPUTATIONS.

People are beginning to join the Biafra movement even here in Bayelsa state. Our grievances was toward and Ironsi who arrested and sentenced Adaka Boro, and the maltreatment of the ijaws before and during Biafra war. If we had been treated well and consulted even at the time of Biafra war, then one nigeria would have been history. But it is all good now, we never gained anything from one Nigeria and so we will take another direction.

Does SS share the same history and cultural heritage? What we should look out is if our priorities in life is aligned. Does your priority to live and not been killed by barbaric herdsmen or trigger happy officers, and and self determination and resource control aligns with any people in Nigeria be it the west, north or east? Whoever aligns with your quest to survive is your ally.

It means absolutely nothing.

You lot are not the same and don't even try to dispute it.

Some of you are daft. Do you actually think that anyone will beg you to fight for your own freedom? What do you mean by the above bolded? Who suggested to Ojukwu of the name Biafra? It was an Ijaw man named Frank Opigo. Google it. There was Eastern consultative assembly made up of Chiefs, Elders, and Representatives of all the twenty provinces of the then Eastern nigeria which included Ijawland. They reached a resolution together albeit within a short period because of the situation at hand then and gave Ojukwu the mandate to declare Biafra. Read here: https://www.dawodu.com/erca.htm

Which other consultation did you need and what for? Are you a child that waits to be catered for. We are talking about your freedom here and you are asking to be consulted before you can cue into what's been done to rescue you from been murdered and your land taken over. Don't join, we don't beg anyone. Rather stay there and be annihilated by the invading marauders from the foot hills of the futa jalon.
