There was remarkable tension in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State today after reports of the killing of a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) went public.
According to the Nigerian Tribune newspaper, the man, named Sikiru Ogboye, had been in charge of monitoring the distribution of the permanent voters card (PVC) in Ibeju when he was shot dead.
The state command has arrested suspects in connection with the death.
Members of the PDP are accusing an All Progressives COngress (APC) chieftain of inviting the thugs who reportedly shot Mr. Sikiru.
Chief Bode Oyedele, a PDP chieftain himself, described the death of Sikiru as ‘wicked and needless’ and said it was a bad omen for the 2015 election in the state.
