The incident happened at about 11:48 p.m. on Sunday.Mr Okoye said the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Enugu State, Emeka Ononamadu, reported the incident to the commission.
The INEC spokesperson said the commission was working to ascertain the status of voter registration machines for the on-going continuous Voter Registration exercise as well as uncollected Permanent Voters Cards which were locked up in the fireproof cabinet at the commission’s office.Mr Okoye said it was worrisome that the attack was coming in the middle of voter registration exercises and preparations for the 2023 general elections.
He, however, said the commission had “substantially” recovered from the previous attacks and resumed normal activities in those areas before the latest incident.
