Three persons were Saturday, killed in the botched National Assembly elections in the Ekeremor council area of Bayelsa State.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though there were conflicting accounts of the incident, which led to the death of the youths,\u00a0sources told\u00a0Vanguard that the\u00a0incident occurred at about 11.30am along the Ekeremor waterways when some armed youths allegedly laying ambush for election materials engaged men of the Joint Task Force in a shoot out.
\u00a0
According to sources, the violent clash between the armed youths and the JTF occurred close to the waterside of the Ekeremor town.
\u00a0
It was gathered that the refusal of the youths to heed the order of the JTF to vacate the waterways triggered the violent shoot out.
\u00a0
The youths, according to sources, opened fire on the Joint Task Force Gunboat prompting the security forces to respond fire for fire and the resultant deaths.
\u00a0
While the Ekeremor council chairman, Eddy Julius confirmed the incident and said three persons died, the Coordinator of the Joint Media Centre of the JTF, Lt. Col. Timothy Antigha said he was yet to get any official details on the incident.<\/p>\n
