Palpable pandemonium erupted on Sunday morning in Ondo State capital, Akure, when supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and those of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) clashed again ahead of the October 10 governorship poll.
It was reliably gathered that many have been injured in the bloody attack that was said to be a reprisal of the killing of an APC member in Oba Nla area of Akure on Saturday night.
Due to heavy shooting along Oba Adeshida road in Akure, motorists have stopped plying the road for safety. The fight, according to residents, has also spread to Erakhale area of the capital.
It was also gathered that various vehicles belonging to the APC and PDP have also been vandalised in the process.
The clash is coming just six days to the governorship election in the state.
The police spokesperson in the state, Tee Leo-Ikoro, told our correspondent that police officers are on their way to the scene of the violence.
Some Civil Society Organisations (CSO) has also warned that the election may be marred with violence.
