Police have on Wednesday July 11, 2018, fired teargas at Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, in the state capital, Ado Ekiti. The reason is not yet known.
The governor was seen sitting on the ground with his eyes closed and surrounded by aides.
Ekiti will be a cynosure of eyes as the state holds governorship election this Saturday.
About 30,000 police personnel had been deployed to the state by the Inspector General of Police, Abubakar Idris.
The governor had tweeted recently that any resident of the state arrested by the police would receive N50,000 as compensation from the state government.
Yesterday, he directed the residents to stay at home ‘to avoid being shot by the police’ as the opposition party in the state, the APC, held its mega rally in Ado Ekiti.
Details coming soon…
