TAXIMAN SHOT BY POLICEMAN

Wole Balogun, Ado Ekiti

The violence that marred the rousing welcome rally held for APC governorship flag bearer in Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, got messier a few hours ago as a policeman allegedly detailed to cover the rally allegedly shot teargas canisters arbitrarily at some people in the Ojumose area of Ado Ekiti, the state capital.

Ojumose is about one kilometer from the APC Secretariat where the earlier misfire by a mobile policeman had occurred.

Some members of PDP have alleged that the policemen who shot in Ojumose were with Fayemi but APC members have denied the allegations.
