Elections in Nigeria: Electoral Bureau burned six days before the election

An office of the Nigerian Electoral Commission was burned just six days before the country voted in a general election.

The Plateau State Fire destroyed everything needed to vote, including ballot boxes and ballots.

A spokesman described the preparations for the election as "setbacks" but that day would have said that it was too early to suspect sabotage.

The general election will be held on Saturday.
