 Fire Ravages Anambra Timber Market A fire that broke out late Wednesday night at the Ogbosisi Timber Market in Onitsha, Anambra State, has caused extensive damage to several goods. An X user named Omaletocracy shared footage of the fire, showing traders desperately attempting to salvage their items as the flames spread. The video was captioned: “Head bridge mkt Onitsha is on fire 18/12/2024.” In a statement issued on Thursday morning, Anambra State Police spokesperson Tochukwu Ikenga confirmed that no lives were lost in the blaze. Ikenga further revealed that the area had been cordoned off to prevent looting by criminals. He added, “The quick response of the Police and Fire Service personnel to the fire outbreak at Ogbosisi on 18/12/2024 at 8:45 pm helped to bring the situation under control.” The spokesperson emphasized that an investigation had begun to determine the cause of the fire, although the value of the destroyed goods has not yet been determined.

 INEC reports 97% BVAS success rate in Ondo guber poll


The Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Ondo State, Oluwatoyin Babalola has expressed satisfaction with the peaceful conduct of the Ondo  governorship election.


She confirmed that the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) recorded about 97 per cent success rate in the ongoing election.


Babalola confirmed this when addressing pressmen while monitoring the exercise at some centers in Akure, the Ondo State capital. 


She said: "So far so good, it has been running smoothly, we opened polls very early, about one and half hour before the official time because we promised the people of Ondo state that we would wait for them at the polling units, the voters would not wait for us. The BVAs machines are working optimally, we have all our materials in sufficient quantity and people are voting seamlessly.


"Generally on BVAs I've had just about two complains and our team quickly solved the problem, but generally over 97% have received very good reports."
