The headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Enugu State, was on Sunday night gutted by fire.

The latest incident occured barely one week after another INEC office in Obollo-Afor, Udenu, Enugu State, was razed.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mohammed Aliyu, confirmed the incident in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

Preliminary investigation had suggested that the fire may have been caused by power surge due to sudden power supply to the building.

INEC recently lamented the series of attacks on its facilities in various states, mainly in the South-east and South-south regions of Nigeria.
