Mr Mohammed Aliyu, the Commissioner of Police in Enugu State, has ordered investigation of fire outbreak which damaged part of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office at Obollo-Afor, Udenu LGA of the state.
“Police operatives attached to the Division immediately raced to the scene, while contacting Enugu State Fire Service office in the area to promptly put off the fire,’’ he said.
He said that the fire was eventually put off before it could spread to other offices around the building, through combined efforts of the fire service, the police and law-abiding citizens.
“Preliminary investigation suggests that the fire may have been caused by power surge due to sudden power supply to the building before the incident occurred,’’ the police spokesman however said.
