INEC office in Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State was on Sunday set ablaze by unknown hoodlums.<\/p>\n

Some of the properties razed down include 340 ballot boxes, 14 power generators, 130 voting cubicles, large water storage tanks, office furniture and a large number of voter cards.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the incident, Shehu Sani in a tweet on Monday declared that the attackers are enemies of progress who do not want the general elections to be conducted in 2023.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cThe ultimate aim of those attacking and burning down INEC offices is to sabotage the coming general elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are enemies of democracy. It\u2019s a patriotic duty for people to defy violence and rise up against those anarchists.\u201d<\/p>\n
