Some parts of the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) in Ede South Local Government Area of Osun State were razed down by fire.
It was gathered that the incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday.
An eyewitness said that the early response of firemen from Osun State Fire Service to the incident was said to have restricted the fire to only the conference room of the office.
The eyewitness at the office said the room was completely razed down with furniture and some other items destroyed in the fire.
The Public Relations Officer of Osun INEC, Seun Osimosu, confirmed the incident and said the Resident Electoral Commissioner was on his way to inspect the office.
It would be recalled that INEC had declared Senator Ademola Adeleke winner of the July 16 governorship election in Osun State.
The incumbent Governor, Gboyega Oyetola is challenging the outcome of the election and has argued that there were over-voting in some local government including Ede South council.
