One person was confirmed dead and others injured, on Saturday, during the local government election in Ekiti State.
Tribune Online gathered that violence broke out when people suspected to be political thugs invaded one of the units in Araromi area of Ikere-Ekiti in Ikere Local Government area, shooting sporadically to snatch ballot boxes.
Journalists and observers scampered for safety as the fracas escalated with the political thugs attacking themselves with weapons and charms.
