Thugs invade INEC office in Abia
Thugs have reportedly invaded the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State. According to a tweet by INEC on Sunday, the commission stated that security agencies have been alerted.

The development has raised concerns about the safety of INEC officials and the electoral materials kept in the office. It is unclear if there have been any casualties or injuries resulting from the attack.

The incident comes on the heels of the Governorship and State House of Assembly elections held across the country on Saturday, with results being announced in some states.

It is not clear if the incident will have any impact on the results from Obingwa Local Government Area or if the commission will reschedule the election in the affected area.

The safety of INEC officials and electoral materials has been a major concern in the buildup to the elections, with several incidents of violence and attacks reported across the country.

Observers have raised concerns about the integrity of the electoral process, with reports of vote-buying, intimidation, and violence in some areas.

INEC has reiterated its commitment to ensuring free, fair, and credible elections and has called on security agencies to provide adequate protection for officials and materials at all polling units and collation centers.

The commission has also urged political parties and candidates to adhere to the electoral guidelines and refrain from any action that may undermine the integrity of the electoral process.

Meanwhile, the situation in Obingwa Local Government Area remains tense, with security agencies on high alert. INEC has promised to issue a statement shortly on the incident.
