Soldiers yesterday took over the streets of Ado-Ekiti to restore order after 24 hours of arson and bloodletting by thugs.
The
soldiers patrolled the state capital to ensure there was no repeat of the
Thursday night murder of a former chairman of the Nigeria Union of Road
Transport Workers (NURTW) in the state, Chief Omolafe Aderiye, and the Friday
burning of Governor Kayode Fayemi Campaign Secretariat and some vehicle in the
premises by thugs.
Twice,
earlier in the week, hoodlums had attacked perceived political opponents of the
Governor-elect, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, within the premises of the State High
Court, Ado Ekiti after Justice Isaac Ogunyemi assumed jurisdictional power to
hear and try Fayose in a case instituted by E-11, a socio-political group based
in the state, over his eligibility to contest for the June 21 governorship
election.
