Armed policemen on Wednesday morning sealed off Ekiti Government House and prevented supporters of Governor Ayodele Fayose from entering.



A rally scheduled to take place at the new Pavilion located at Fajuyi, which was within the vicinity of the Government House was botched as policemen teargased the participants .

The policemen were shooting sporadically into the air as they dispersed the PDP members who were called by Fayose to rally support for Prof Kolapo Olusola


As at the time of filing this report, no human and vehicular movement was allowed from the Fajuyi end into the Government House.

The PDP members had massed at the new pavilion when policemen swooped on them and dispersed the gathering.

Those affected fled in different directions to prevent being arrested by police.

A close aide to governor Fayose called Abiola was arrested at Fajuyi area and he is now being detained at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) section at the police headquarters in Ado Ekiti.

Journalists sighted him as he was being dragged by the police to the CID section.

The dispersed PDP members, who escaped into the Government House were said to have been trailed by policemen and chased out.

The Deputy Inspector General of Police(DIG) Operations, Mr Habilal Joshak, said no party will be allowed to hold any political rally not approved by the police until the election is held.

“We are not here to usurp the authority of Governor Fayose. We are not here to rubbish him because he represents the people

“But we are not going to allow any unauthorised rally that can trigger violence in the state. You can see that the state is tensed up.

“As law enforcement agent, we must be proactive and take actions that can prevent crisis rather than trying to quell it after it might have broken out”, he said.

He said the Government House had not been blocked, clarifying that the policemen only blocked the road from Fajuyi to the State Secretariat.

Terrorism in full swing in Ekiti state....buhari/APC will sink this country into civil war if care is not taken..

The signs are there for all to see.

I want to believe this is not true. A country were thousands are being massacre in the middle belt because of lack of security can boost of 30000 security men for an election in a peaceful state like ekiti state. Now stories of human right abuse are coming from that angle. This is not true, we can't be that low as a nation. Something is wrong somewhere.

What else is respected from the dictatorship of Buhari and APC?

God passes that evil fundamentalist. He will see

Some good reasons there, but has it always been this way?
And again, why fire the canister gas at the crowd, who accounts for the bullets wasted?

U see how impatient and desperate this current government full of lie's in nigeria is? The same way they sent there python to nnamdi kanu house, few days to his court is the same way they are threatening fayose few days to election in his state.... Government magic.

Nigeria police force is the must useless organization in the world. They are worse than our so call politicians. PDP today APC tomorrow. Yet know good or better welfare for them. If u be police officer and u dey read this, shame on u.

yipata:
wia? I wish APC could do half of Wat ur fore fathers did in ekiti and osun for fayose but buhari will not allow it. Law and order must be maintained no matter who is gonna win.

You lots should continue,just dont blame IPOB when your impunity blows up in your faces.

The Federal Government certainly wants to cause violence so that a state of emergency will be declared. That's their game plan
