The candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the July 14 Ekiti State governorship election, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has raised the alarm over the presence of some militants in the state.
The militants, he said, were “camped in Ekiti” to cause trouble during the coming election.
Fayemi raised the alarm at the weekend during an interview programme on Voice 89.9FM.
He said he gathered that the militants were being provided with the uniforms of men of the Department of State Services, DSS, to intimidate people during the voting exercise.
He also alleged that the people were being prepared to cause mayhem during the exercise.
However, Fayemi warned that those behind the plans should desist or risk being arrested.
He said there would be maximum security during the exercise.

“I want to assure prospective voters that Ekiti will be safe; it will be secured; there will be maximum security for this election.
“Our people should go about their businesses in peace and they should not be threatened. They should not feel harassed by all we are hearing from those who don’t want free and fair electoral process.
“We are aware (of this) and every information that we get, we pass to security agencies. I will like to advise those busybodies who have found their way into Ekiti to leave our state. In your interest, leave unannounced before the election because you will face very severe punishment,” he said.
