Suspected thugs disrupt Ondo gov’ship election tribunal

There was a security breach on Tuesday at the inaugural sitting of the Ondo state governorship election petitions tribunal in Akure as thugs led by a middle aged man called chemical launched attacks on the people.

Chemical allegedly bombarded the venue, harassing molesting and shooting into the air.

PDP and his candidate in the October the 10th election, Eyitayo Jegede are challenging the victory of APC’s Rotimi Akeredolu at the tribunal.

In a statement, the PDP media office alleges that the thugs were sponsored by Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.

It says, there was orderliness in and around the tribunal premises before the suspected thugs began to cause pandemonium.

But publicity secretary of the Ondo APC Alex Kalejaye says Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and the party have no reason to mobilize thugs to the venue.

Kalejaye said the APC has confidence in the tribunal to dispense justice
