During the election, there were crises in Obokun and Ile-Ife Local Governments Areas as houses and properties were burnt in Ile Ife over the alleged killing of a PDP supporter.
At Ilase, in Obokun local government area of the state, there was an exchange of gun shots between suspected gunmen and the police. The crisis escalated when one Orimogunje Dare was shot at NUD Primary School, Ilase, when accreditation of voters was about to begin.
When contacted, Commissioner of Police in charge of election in the state, Mr. Valentine Ntomchukwu, explained that police had to repel the gunmen to restore peace.
