Ahead of the June 18 governorship poll in Ekiti State, the Independent National Electoral Commission has commenced the distribution of sensitive materials to the 16 local government areas of the state.
Fully armed security personnel cordoned off the commission’s office located at the new Ado-Iyin road in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, where the materials were distributed and frisked those entering the place.
When our correspondent visited the area, several personnel of security agencies, including the Nigerian Police, Nigerian Army, Security and Civil Defence Corps and Department of State Services were on guard.
All adjourning roads leading to the INEC headquarters were cordoned off with six armoured personnel carriers positioned at strategic locations and at the entrance of the office.
