A member of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Mr Isiaka Ademola, was killed by people suspected to be Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, on Saturday.
The incident, it was gathered, occurred in Gbede, Surulere Local Government, near Ogbomoso, during the accreditation of voters in the botched National Assembly election around 11:30 am.
It was learnt that a PDP chieftain ordered his thugs to attack would-be voters at the polling unit, who refused to sing praises of the PDP.
A source said the late Ademola was attacked with machetes by the hoodlums. He died shortly later.
Four other persons, who were injured, were taken to a nearby private hospital.
The source said Ademola’s body was taken to the Police Area Command in Ogbomoso.
Supporters of the deceased vowed to seek redress in court.
Police spokesman Olatunji Ajimuda confirmed the incident.
