Sensitive Materials and properties worth millions of naira were destroyed by flood at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Headquarters in Edo State.

Following an early morning rain which lasted for about two in Benin City, the state capital, INEC officials attributed the flood to the collapse of a fence between their premises and the Federal High Court.

According to INEC officials, the flood was a result of a heavy rain which lasted for about two hours on Saturday in Benin City, leading to the collapse of a fence between their premises and the Federal High Court.

In an interview with Channels Television, the Administrative Secretary of INEC in Benin City, Lebari Sam-Nduh, blamed the flood on a road construction and the poor drainage system in the area.

He said, “Water entered the critical store of the Commission where our laptops and our smart card readers are all stored, all just because the fence adjoining the Federal High Court fell and because of the construction at Lucky Way.

“All the waters there have now been diverted to this place and as you can see that the drainage here is not adequate to carry the water. So, the fence fell under the weight of the water.”

Sam-Nduh, however, appealed to relevant agencies in the state and the Federal Ministry of Work, as well as the National Emergency Management Agency to come to their aid.

“It’s a tragedy that has befallen us and we call on the Federal Ministry of Works and the state government that embarked on the construction of both the highway and Lucky Way Road to quickly come to our aid to see what can be done,” he said.

Re: Flood Hits INEC Headquarters In Edo (Photo) by Nobody: 8:22pm On Oct 07, 2017
shocked


I heard the heavy downpour in the early hours of today in Benin city was disastrous!

Many were sacked from their mud houses,
Some Ogun shrines were even buried in the flood.

The Court of Appeal and INEC office location along Benin Auchi road is notorious for flooding & over the years, no conceived solution seems to have worked perfectly.

However, INEC officials in Edo state hqtrs should not cry foul because they deserve whatever evil that is befalling them now.

Karma is a sweet force!

The collapse of the fence is only a sign of worst things to come. They cannot be instrumental in ensuring that he that was not duly voted for by the people is sitting on the seat of power and go unpunished.

INEC will not only weep, they will bleed in Edo state!

Fear edo for what?

Flooding is a global problem, don't come here soliciting for likes, or painting a residential area bad ( yes I used residential, if you are intelligent, you won't capitalize on it) wake up and ask the government to rise up to its duties.

This is not flooding, this is just a house poorly constructed along water way. Water must find its way.
