Within a week, two electoral commission offices were burned down in Nigeria. With the presidential election on February 16th, it has triggered a large amount of uncertainty. The INEC did not say who started the fires and that elections will go ahead as scheduled in the affected states as new voter cards will be made to replace the ones that were destroyed. However, this incident could spark fear in the public and affect voter turnout.
