and the Independent National Electoral
Commission in Ado -Ekiti on Thursday.

arresting the thugs who dared them to
shoot them and in the process injured
eight police officers including the DPO
of Ijero.
“ These people came in at about 11 a .m
and brandished dangerous weapons.
One of them even inflicted a machete
wound on a boy in my house. They
fired gunshots and threatened to burn
down my house because of my
political affiliation . However , the quick
intervention of the Area Commander of
Ijero and the SARS Commander saved
the day.
“ The SARS and the Area Commander’s
rescued me from the scene and took me
to Ijero where I passed the night. I
would have been killed but for quick
intervention of the police,” he stated .

the forum said he immediately ordered
his men to rescue Alake when he got
the information.
He commended his men for
displaying high level of professionalism
in handling the incident, which he
described as frightening and barbaric .
He urged political parties to play the
game in accordance with the dictate of
the constitution and electoral laws .
“ Endeavor to tolerate each other in the
conduct of your electioneering
campaigns and shun all kinds of
vulgar / abusive language that can
degenerate into violence .
“ Let us have from you, timely report of
the incidence around you to enable us
nip - in-bud any ugly incidence that can
mar the conduct of the election .
“ Shun all acts of hooliganism in your
campaign activities and the idea of
moving out on campaign with offensive
or destructive weapons because all your
campaign would be covered by the
police and anybody found wanting in
this course would be severely dealt
with ,” Lakanu vowed.
