The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that the fire that gutted some parts of itsstorage facilities in Abuja will not affect the upcoming general elections.The Commissioner in charge of Electoral Operations and Logistics, Mohammed Hamanga, said that the affected materials, which were in the process of being destroyed, were obsolete.
According to an official of the commission, the fire outbreak was as a result of a surge in electricity after three days of power cut.
It was gathered that the fire which started at 11:00 PM was contained by 2:00AM due to the quick response of officials of INEC and the Federal Fire Service, who forced their way into the warehouse.
The Commissioner in charge, who inspected the affected areas of the warehouse, allayed fears that the fire would affect the reschedule elections.
