INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Tella Adeniran, in report in Ado-Ekiti, stated that the commission postponed the poll following the violence unleashed on voters and officials of the electoral body by political hoodlums.

Adeniran explained that the election was peaceful until arm-wielding hoodlums stormed two polling units of ward 009 unit 008 and 009 and started shooting sporadically.

This development, the INEC boss, said led to the death of three voters while a police officer, Corps member and one of its staff sustained varying degrees of injuries.
