Some parts of the Akwa Ibom State Independent Electoral Commission (AKISIEC) office in Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area (LGA) have been razed by fire.
The Spokesperson of the State’s Police Command, ASP Timfon John confirmed the incident on Saturday, pointing fingers at hoodlums in the state.
The alleged attack comes on the heels of Saturday’s Local Government Election in the state.
The police said, “Some hoodlums partially set the AKISIEC office in Ibiono Ibom ablaze, but the election materials remained intact. The election is also ongoing,” he said.
He added that security has been beefed up at all AKISIEC offices and strategic locations across the state to prevent further sabotage.
John said the police are working tirelessly to ensure the elections proceed without a hitch.
