One shot as APC members clash with Fayoses deputy

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose

A member of the All Progressives Congress, Jide Owolabi, was reportedly shot on Saturday as members of the opposition party challenged the Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Olubunmi Olusola-Eleka, during the presidential election.

It was gathered that problem started when Olusola-Eleka was moving around the polling units in Ikere Ekiti to monitor the accreditation process.

According to the incumbent senator and candidate of the APC for Ekiti South Federal Constituency, Anthony Adeniyi, aggrieved youths who saw his action as violating the electoral law accosted him and asked him to return to his polling unit.

Adeniyi claimed that Owolabi was shot on the buttocks by one of the security operatives attached to the deputy governor when argument ensued.

But Governor Ayodele Fayoses Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, in a statement denied that security men attached to Olusola-Eleka shot any APC member.

Adelusi said rather, it was the APC thugs stationed along Odo Oja Area in Ikere Ekiti that ambushed Olusola-Eleka and almost killed him, though he managed to escape.

The statement said, The Deputy Governor received a call that card reader machines in some polling booths were not functioning.

Dr. Olubunmi Olusola-Eleka decided to visit the polling booths, based on the reports, but at Odo Oja Area, some APC thugs who apparently had been stationed there to cause violence in Ikere welcomed the deputy governors convoy with stones and the security attached to him had to shoot in the air to disperse them.
