One allegedly dies in ongoing Ekiti LG election

Local government election is ongoing in Ekiti state as residents file out to choose their representatives at the grassroots.

Reports from our correspondents show there is voter apathy in most of the areas visited like Ado Ekiti, Ekiti West, Ekiti South West, Ikere and Oye local government areas.

However, voters turned out in Omuo in Ekiti west as well as Osi Ekiti unit 011 with multiple voting experienced.

Also vehicular movement was seen in Ido Osi, Ikere, Ise, Ado Ekiti, and Omuo and few shops opened for business.

In the meantime, a case of electoral violence was reported in Ikere unit 6 ward 7 where some political thugs shot in to the air.

They chased electorate away and made away with election materials for the ward.

The case was not different in Oke-Imesi Efun Ola unit in Ekiti west local government where one person was allegedly macheted to death.
