VIDEO | #OndoDecides2020: Boat ferrying INEC staff carrying election materials capsized<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cSomebody shot into the air near unit 11, Ward 4, it was not within the unit.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce we got the information, we deployed more men to the scene to ensure nothing untoward happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe report of shooting someone is not correct,\u201d Ikoro said.<\/p>\n
He informed that electoral materials and officials were safe and the process had continued.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, at the same location, an unknown man has been stabbed by hoodlums at a polling unit, as the governorship election held in the state.<\/p>\n
The yet-to-be-identified victim was found bleeding on the floor few metres away from a polling booth where he was supposed to cast his vote.<\/p>\n
At the Ijomu Ward 4 where the incident happened, people who came to his aid took him to a police clinic in Akure.<\/p>\n
The state’s Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of investigations, Lanre Bankole, who spoke on the matter, said the victim is now stable.<\/p>\n
He also informed that two suspects have been apprehended in connection with the attack.<\/p>\n
Bankole also said that the gunshots heard within the time of the attack were not from police guns.<\/p>\n
He, however, assured that investigations will reveal what really transpired in due time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
