PRESS RELEASE

INEC LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OFFICE IN ABIA STATE SET
ABLAZE

The Commission met today, Monday 10th May 2021, and discussed a wide-range of issues, including a disturbing report from Abia State. The Resident Electoral Commissioner for the State, Dr. Joseph Iloh, reported that INEC's recently renovated office in Ohafia Local Government Area has been set ablaze.

The incident occurred late on Sunday night, 9th May 2021.

There are no casualties on the part of our staff on guard duty but the building was virtually destroyed. Apart from furniture items, all electoral materials and office equipment were destroyed. The matter has been reported to the police for investigation.

It will be recalled that only last week, the Commission reported an attack on its office in Essien Udim LGA of Akwa Ibom State and expressed anxiety about the impact of such attacks on electoral activities, including the ongoing expansion of voter access to Polling Units, resumption of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), pending bye-elections, end-of- tenure elections and ultimately the 2023 General Election.

The latest incident in Abia State is one too many. This is not the first attack on the Commission's facilities in the State in recent times. Five months ago on 13th December 2020, the INEC LGA office in Aba South was completely burnt down while that of Arochukwu LGA was vandalised and ransacked in October 2020. These facilities are national assets, which must be protected. Accordingly, the Commission is convening an emergency meeting of the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES) ext week to discuss this disturbing trend.

Meanwhile, the Commission wishes to reassure Nigerians that all activities in relation to the ongoing expansion of voter access to Polling Units and preparations for the resumption of CVR as well as all scheduled elections will proceed as planned.
