BEVERLY HILLS, September 26, (THEWILL) –Â The Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi Friday declared a dusk to dawn curfew from 7.pm to 7.am indefinitely in the state to halt the torching of houses and looting of properties by political thugs protesting the killing of a politician and former transport union leader, Chief Omolafe Aderiye, who was assassinated on Thursday night in Ado-Ekiti by yet to be identified person(s).
Aderiye was a staunch supporter of in-coming governor Ayodele Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Tension between supporters of Fayemi, who is of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Fayose have been rising since the incumbent lost at the polls.
With just a few days to his inauguration as Governor of Ekiti State, there are at least two lawsuits seeking to stop Fayose from succeeding Fayemi.
