A heavy security cordon was woven
around Oke Ila neighbourhood of Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital on Saturday
where the All Progressives Congress (APC) is holding its governorship primary.
Aspirants, delegates and journalists were thoroughly
frisked by security agencies deployed for the exercise.
Security checks started at a
location about 1,000 metres to Damlek Event Centre, along Afao Road, Oke Ila.
There are up to seven security
points where people are being frisked to their shoes with full compliments of
security dogs.
Armed policemen and Department of
State Services (DSS) operatives were stationed inside the hall and the vicinity
of the venue.
Economic activities along Afao
Road were paralysed as the entire stretch was cordoned off and blocked with
vehicles of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
Shops and offices were closed as
the security scare forced many residents to stay indoors.
Chairman of the Electoral
Committee, Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, was in charge to ensure that
everything went on smoothly.
Accreditation is still ongoing at
the time of filing this report.
