The Police in Ondo State have captured six suspects regarding Tuesday’s conflict between allies of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ipele and Owo in Owo Local Government Area of the state.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Mr Tee-Leo Ikoro, who affirmed the capture said the suspects were purportedly liable for the demolition of the billboards of the APC governorship candidate, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu in Ipele community.
He likewise said endeavors were on to capture those behind the demolition of the PDP billboards.
Ikoro said: “there was a clash in Ipele and we have begun investigation into the matter because there were allegations and counter allegations from both parties. But we have arrested those who destroyed the APC billboards and we are also trying to get those who destroyed the PDP billboards in the community.”
Supporters of both ideological groups were among those harmed in the conflict which happened during a mission visit through the PDP candidate, Mr Eyitayo Jegede and his Supporters.
Nonetheless, the PDP campaign which demanded that itsparty supporters were the survivors of the unwarranted assault, asked the police to deliver their individuals who were outlandishly captured.
