The Ekiti State Governor, Mr Kayode Fayemi, has declared a 7pm to 7am curfew in the state after thugs on Friday took to the streets burning houses and looting shops at random. Friday's violence followed the killing of a former Ekiti State chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Omolafe Aderiye, who was killed in his office in Ijigbo area of the state capital, Ado-Ekiti. Reports said Aderiye was shot at close range in his office. He is reported to have died before medical attention could get to him. The former NURTW chairman was believed to be a staunch supporter of the governor-elect, Mr Ayo Fayose and took active part in his campaign coordination. Punch More details later.
