The office of a former Director in charge of Alternative Dispute Resolution in the Independent National Electoral Commission in Abuja was destroyed as fire on Monday gutted the building accommodating the Information and Communication Technology Centre of the Commision .
The incident occurred months after a similar one occurred in the office of the commission’s chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega.
On January 7 this year, a similar fire razed the Voter Registry department of the commission.
But the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu said investigation into the incident had commenced.
He said, “There was a minor fire incident at about mid-day today, Monday April 22, 2013, at the headquarters of INEC in Abuja.
“The fire occurred in the office of former Director in charge of ADR located in the ICT Building, and was restricted to that office when it was put out. Men of the Fire Service attached to the Commission swiftly responded to put the fire out. There was no damage whatsoever to any vital facility of the Commission.”
