Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi has imposed a dusk to dawn curfew in the state, in a bid to avert crises following the gruesome murder of the former Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Chief Omolafe Aderiye, who was an ardent supporter of the state governor-elect, Mr Ayo Fayose.
Angry reactions trailed the brutal murder of Aderiye, as a large crowd of protesters razed down Governor Fayemi’s private office, the state APC Secretariat, and destroyed properties including vehicles worth millions of Naira.
Aderiye was killed by some unidentified gunmen in his office along Ijigbo Street, Ado Ekiti on Thursday. The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, blamed Aderiye’s killing on the out-going APC government in the state, saying it was to precipitate mayhem in the Ekiti.
Armed soldiers and policemen have been however stationed at strategic points in the state even as anti-riot policemen led by the Commissioner patrolled the major streets in the state.
