INEC Headquarters in Kogi Faces Mob Attack; Military Intervention Restores Order.

A mob launched an attack on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters in Kogi State, disrupting staff access to the premises. Military intervention was necessary to restore order and provide security to the electoral commission’s facility. The siege impeded attorneys representing political parties involved in a recent off-cycle governorship election from inspecting crucial election-related documents. INEC, in response, emphasizes its commitment to transparency and pledges to facilitate unimpeded access to all materials required for legal proceedings by political parties and litigants involved in the case.
