While the APC said the target of the shooting was its governorship candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, with the Peoples Democratic Party-led State Government blaming it on self-destruction by those involved, the Ekiti State Police Command said it is still investigating whether the Mobile Policeman whose gun caused the havoc was on illegal duty as claimed or out to kill Fayemi
The governor made the disclosure in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communication and New Media, Lere Olayinka in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday.
Adeyeye, who lost in the just concluded PDP governorship primary in Ekiti, told a news conference at his Ado Ekiti residence that he defected because he could no longer operate on the same pedestal with the state governor, Ayo Fayose.
In a statement on Thursday by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, Fayose was quoted as saying that he had twice called Adeyeye on the outcome of the primary, which he lost to the Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Prof. Kolapo Olusola-Eleka.

Out of the total of number of votes, as announced by leader of PDP electoral committee, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta, Eleka scored 1,190 to defeat the only challenger in the race, a former Minister of Works, Dayo Adeyeye, who scored 771 votes.
A News Agency of Nigeria correspondent at the venue reports that armed combined teams of policemen as well as Department of State Services and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps personnel have taken over the expansive event centre located on the Ado-Ikere road where the exercise is ongoing.
The parties – Dayo Adeyeye, Biodun Olujimi and Owoseni Ajayi and others like Dare Bejide and Sikiru Lawal, who have defeated to others parties – were aggrieved because of Governor Ayodele Fayose’s overwhelming support for his deputy, Kolapo Olusola, also an aspirant for the poll.
