“The police have commenced investigation. The recent attack on our facility after we have just concluded the inventory of electoral materials nationwide in readiness for the 2023 election is worrisome.”

The commission warned that these attacks could cause a delay in the commission’s preparation for 2023 general election if not checked.

“If unchecked these attacks may constitute a setback for the commission preparations including the ongoing conversion of voting points to polling units, the continuous registration of voters (CVR) exercise and the conduct of polls,” the statement added.

The commission promised to leave no stone unturned to recover from the incident in Akwa Ibom state and prepare for electoral activities.
