Six police have been arrested over the burning of an INEC registration centre in Ezza North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, during last Saturday’s governorship and House of Assembly elections. The six policemen were arrested over their failure to arrest the hoodlums who invaded the Community Secondary School, Okposi Umuoghara (polling unit 07), which served as of Independent National Electoral Commission’s Registration Area Centre and set ablaze electoral materials within the premises and burnt down the school building.

The hoodlums also invaded the INEC RAC at about 2:15am, and attacked the commission’s officials.“After invading the place, they started shooting sporadically, which scared people away, before setting the centre and INEC sensitive materials ablaze,” an eyewitness told Southern City News.

Ebonyi State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Loveth Odah, who confirmed that six policemen have been arrested over the burning of the INEC registration centre, disclosed that the policemen in their statement said the hoodlums came in and put off the generator supplying light to the centre, which made it difficult for them to confront them (hoodlums) to avoid shooting at an innocent ad-hoc or INEC workers who were in the premises.

“The officers are being tried on oath; they were subjected to internal investigation. They are being investigated and the ad-hoc employees are being investigated,” she said.
