The Headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kano was razed by fire in the early hours of today (Tuesday).
The fire which started at around 10:00am, burnt down INEC’s Data Processing Center.
However, at around 10:40am, Kano State Fire Service arrived at the scene with two tanks of water to put off the fire.
No officials of the electoral body volunteered to speak on the cause of the fire as of the time of filling in this report, but an eyewitness at the scene links the fire outbreak to electrical faults at the data processing center.
