BEVERLY HILLS, October 04, (THEWILL) – One person was killed and many injured on Sunday during a clash between supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) and the All Progressives Congress(APC) in Akure, Ondo State
THEWILL gathered that the shooting on Oba Adesida Road was an escalation of the clash on Saturday, during which an APC supporter was killed.
The Ondo PDP claimed two persons were killed and put the blame on National Union of Road Transport Workers’ members supporting Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
Residents have expressed concerns over the shooting. “When did the Ondo state election become a war? I haven’t heard this level of violence in Ondo since the 2003 general elections. What is going on?” wrote Love Ogundipe, on Twitter. “This Akure shooting is becoming something else, last night all hell was let loose at Oba nla, this morning is ijomu. Since when do we vote with guns in Ondo state? This is a new level of unacceptable election violence”, Ogundipe added.
“Akure is the last place I expect violence from. Not a good sign at all. Two people reportedly shot dead in 48hrs”, another resident Feyisayo, tweeted
