We move to Anambra state where the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission has been set ablaze by gunmen.
They also attempted to attack the Police 'B' Divisional Headquarters close to the INEC office but were repelled by the operatives on duty.
The office of the electoral umpire and the police station are both located in Awka, the state capital, in south-east Nigeria.
The incident, which occurred yesterday, is the latest in the series of attacks on police facilities and INEC offices by hoodlums in recent times in the region.
Although police authorities in the state confirmed the killing of two of the assailants during the gun battle, there was no information on whether or not any security operative was killed.
Eyewitnesses also said three Hilux vans fully packed with armed men stormed the police station and opened fire for more than one hour.
