Ekiti Rerun Update 6: INEC Officials Kidnapped As Poll Closes And Results Triclkle In
Apr 25th, 2009 | By admin | Category: NEWS
Police Shuts Down Oye LG As 36 PDP Thugs Were Arrested With Their Charms and Weapons At Senator Arise’s House
The Ekiti rerun election is coming to a close as many polling stations, though started late but are rounding up now. There is palpable tremor of joy in Ekiti people’s hearts as they began to tally results from various polling units across the wards where elections took place peacefully. The people fought gallantly and foiled many attempts by PDP thugs to steal ballot boxes and rig the elections.
Today the people of Ekiti demystified the so-called influence of Senator Ayo Arise. The man that was the loudest among the PDP chieftains. All the power and strategy of the PDP were anchored on Arise, whom they believed hold the ace to Oni’s victory.
He was effectively checkmated and neutralized by irate youths who almost lynched him when it was discovered that he was massively thumb-printing ballot papers in his house for a fake victory by PDP. Ekiti was saved from the edge of bloodbath as youths invaded Arise’s house to scatter his plot to rig the election. He was saved at the nick of time by the DIG John Ahmadu, who quickly intervened upon security reports from Abuja.
The end result? 36 political thugs were rounded up by the police in Arise’s house. Full of dangerous weapons and fetish objects called charms, which Arise excused as local protection for his boys. All the electoral material were reportedly confiscated from Arise’s house. He was later led out by the police to calm frayed nerves of the irate mob. The election in Oye local government have therefore been cancelled or suspended.
Conflicting but unconfirmed reports reaching us as we go to the press indicates that Arise has been released on self-recognition and intervention by political hawks from Abuja whose interests he has been zealously protecting.
A sad news also crept in about noon today on how PDP thugs shot and abducted AC Senator Lawrence Agunbiade aka Laco in his light green Toyota Sienna car, number DZ18GGE. He is critically hovering between life and death at a private hospital in Ekiti now.
Agunbiade’s Personal Assistant, Mr. Femi Ekundayo, was also kidnapped by a local government chairman, but was lucky to be rescued by policemen later. Ekundayo was reported to have escaped bullets shot at him. He also alleged that he saw over 75 double barrel guns in the hands of the thugs led by the LG Chairman that kidnapped him.
Desperate last minute efforts to reverse the sure defeat of PDP were made by two Senators mobilized by Governor Oyinlola of Osun State. Senator Isiaka Adeleke representing Osun Central Senatorial District and Iyiola Omisore visited INEC office in Ado-Ekiti for meetings that were shrouded in mystery thjis afternoon.

I pray Fayemi wins at the end of this hullabaloo.
Heard the result is not announced, as the election in Oye Ekiti is cancelled.
God intervenes in this situation, and take us away from suffering o!
this can not save PDP, but i want to impore the good people of Ekiti to stand up to defend thrie vote from being stealing and not to allow PDP to escort the vote to the Collation sentre or INEC Offfice
i know this will happen. but the race has just began and the best is yet to be achieved. my own advise for the good people of ekiti state is that they should be vigilant and resist all attempt by PDP to steal their vote.
Imagine the so called Senator. Is politics do or die? If it is according to his mentor Baba AgbaYAOBJ, Cant you learn from Adedibu? Mass thumb printing habba!!!!!!!!!! How do you defend this in your children’s presence? A thief is a thief senator or no senator. I could have said it isnt true but Fayose called Adaba to inform of this today and Im sure Fayose, Adaba nor Osun Defender can not be liars.
Why shd such people keep representing us. This is food for thought but I know that as long as my God lives they will not have their ways. No wander he wanted the fake soldiers.
Fayemi cool down you are a lot closer to victory than even yesterday. The seat is yours.I am behind you no matter what. How come no news of AC rigging today.
FA ! FA! FA! FAYEMI just like we shouted then FA ! FA! FA! FASHOLA and it is clear he is the most loved Governor in 9ja today. Fayemi fokanbale
