Police Move To Resolve Mystery Behind Enugu INEC Office Fire Incident by Dovegrey: 11:59pm On Sep 19, 2021
The Police Command in Enugu
State says it has commenced
investigation to resolve mystery
behind the fire that gutted the
Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) council office in the State.

The News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) has earlier reported that
INEC office complex, located in
Awgu Local Government Area of
Enugu State, was set ablaze by
unknown arsonists on Sunday
morning.

The Command’s Public Relations
Officer, ASP Daniel Ndukwe, said
this in a statement made available
to NAN in Enugu on Sunday.

Ndukwe said: “The state’s
Criminal and Investigation
Department (CID) has commenced
investigation into the fire incident.

“The state CID will unravel the
mystery behind the fire incident
that occurred at INEC Office in
Awgu council area in the early
hours of Sept. 19.

“Further development will be
communicated, please,’’ he said.

NAN recalls that the Chief Fire
Officer in Enugu State, Chief
Okwudili Ohaa, had earlier
confirmed the fire incident to NAN
in Enugu on Sunday.

Ohaa said that a distress call was
received by the Enugu State Fire
Service at the wee hours of
Sunday, at about 1:30 a.m.

“Yes, as usual, when we received
the distress call; our trucks and
men at Ozalla Station quickly
moved down to the scene.

“We equally mobilised fire trucks
and fire fighters from Enugu
metropolis.

“Our prompt intervention saved
the entire complex as only one
office room was affected in the
raging fire before it was
extinguished,” he said.

The state fire chief said that the
quick response of the firefighters
gave credence to the establishment
of fire stations in local government
areas by Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

There are feelers that the
arsonists climbed through the
perimeter fence to gain access to
the INEC complex.

NAN recalls that unknown
arsonists had earlier in the year
attacked the INEC Headquarters in
Enugu State and INEC Office in
Udenu Local Government Area as
well.
