 The independent National Electoral Commission office in Kano State's Takai Local Government Area was reportedly destroyed by fire.

Prime9jaOnline gathered that the incident occurred around 09:30 a.m. on Sunday when some unidentified individuals began beating people, forcing election observers, journalists, and INEC officials to flee for safety and hide in the ceiling, but the thugs set the office on fire.

Sale Nasko, one of the victims and a local journalist, said the suspects were believed to be members of one of the political parties.

The victim, who is currently hospitalized with various degrees of injuries, stated that three of the suspected attackers, Garba Gambo, Shehu Na-marka, and Abdullahi Dan-jalingo, had been apprehended and one remained at large.

The attack comes as the collation officer of the local government was waiting for the arrival of the last two wards (Takai and Kachako) before announcing the official results of yesterday’s Presidential and National Assembly elections.

He said they were rescued by men of the military.

“We have learned that the attack doesn’t affect the election results,” said the victim.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in Kano, SP Abdullahi Haruna confirmed the incident.

He said the fire was set up at the generator house behind the office building but it was put off immediately.

“It was from the generator house that they put out the fire. It was hurriedly brought under control and security operatives have been intensified in the area,” he said.
