The Nigeria Police has placed the sum of N2.5 million as reward for any individual with useful information about the hoodlums that razed the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abeokuta South Local Government, Ogun State.
Quest Times reported that some suspected hoodlums had in November burnt an INEC office at Iyana Mortuary lll, in Abeokuta, where over 600,000 permanent voters’ cards were burnt, including voting cubicles, ballot boxes and others.
According to reports, the hoodlums numbering about eight reportedly scaled the perimeter fence, jumped into the premises and set the building on fire from the back.
The Commissioner of Police in Ogun State, Lanre Bankole, directed the State Criminal Investigation Department to immediately commence investigation, with a view to unraveling the arsonists behind the devilish act.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police said anybody with useful information that would assist the command should come forward, assuring that such information will be treated with utmost confidentiality.
