Flood Ravages INEC Office In Benin (VIDEO)

Heavy rainfall on May 24, 2024, flooded the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Benin, Edo State.

INEC’s National Commissioner, Sam Olumekun, confirmed the damage on Saturday, stating that the flood submerged both movable and immovable items, including vehicles, furniture, and equipment.

Despite the setback, INEC is ensuring that the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) continues as planned by deploying extra machines from nearby states to compensate for the loss.

In a statement which partly reads;

“Our Resident Electoral Commissioner for Edo State, Dr Anugbum Onuoha, has reported that our State Headquaters in Benin City was completely flooded following a torrential rainfall yesterday Friday 24th May 2024.”

“Preliminary assessment shows that the heavy downpour damaged a section of the building. Movable and immovable items were submerged, including vehicles parked at the premises as well as office furniture and equipment.

“Some of the voter enrollment machines already configured for the forthcoming Continuous Voter Registration CVR are affected. However, the Commission is delivering additional machines from the neighbouring States to make up for the shortfall.”

“We are determined to ensure that the CVR in all the 192 Wards across Edo State will proceed on Monday 27th November 2024 as scheduled.”
