Suspected arsonists on Thursday razed down the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Ede South Local Government Area (LGA), located within the premises of the council area in Oke Iresi in Ede town Osun State.
The arson incident is coming just a few hours after an INEC office was burnt in Ogun State.
