A group, Edo Entrepreneurs has raised alarm that the state INEC office in Benin city might be set ablaze tonight.

The group in a statement by Friday Eriki, late Monday night said the PDP legal team had been denied access to electoral materials used in the September 21 governorship election.

Besides using thugs to chase away the PDP legal team, there are fears of burning down INEC office to wipe away evidence

Already as at late night on Monday, four fire trucks were spotted parked around Ramat park, a shouting distance from INEC office.

The group said it was strange to have fire trucks at the area but believes that there might be likelihood of sinister move to deny the PDP opportunity to have evidence to pursue their case at the tribunal.

The tribunal has ordered INEC to provide the legal team necessary documents to aid their case.

Meanwhile, the PDP has up to Friday to file all necessary documents and materials before the tribunal..

And this APC with the assistance of INEC, according to the group, is frustrating every effort to meet the deadline.

End.
