Following the alleged plot by suspected arsonists to burn down the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lokoja, Kogi State capital, security operatives have taken over the office premises.
VOP News gathered that men of the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Army and other security outfits were spotted with their armoured personnel carriers to stop any invasion of the INEC office.
It was further learnt that the ever-busy post office, where business activities boom on a daily basis, was deserted.
