The electorate announced on Sunday that two offices of the Nigerian Electoral Commission housing the voting materials were set on fire within a week - just days before the country's presidential election.
It was stated that 10,000 permanent voter cards and 755 ballot boxes had been destroyed in two fires in the Abia and Plateau states last week.
The elections will be held as planned in the affected states, the commission said, adding that the company had made provisions to print new voter cards to replace the people destroyed by the fire.
The run-up to the election was marked by violence, prompting the British and US governments to warn that they would refuse visas and would probably sue those who incited violence in the February 16 vote.
On Sunday, President Muhammadu Buhari claimed that corrupt politicians had planned to use laundered funds to buy voters in elections.
Buhari, 76, is running for reelection and will run against 71 other presidential candidates at the country's highest post. His main opponent is Atiku Abubakar, 72, business magnate and former vice president.
