The incident happened few hours before INEC’s meeting with heads of security agencies scheduled for Wednesday over the attacks on its offices.
About 23 INEC offices have been set ablaze in the past few months in different states.
The headquarters of the commission in Enugu State, was on Sunday night gutted by fire. This occurred barely one week after another INEC office in Obollo-Afor, Udenu, Enugu State, was razed.
