Heavily armed hoodlums from Ibadan heading towards Ekiti ostensibly to disrupt Ekiti Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary elections have been intercepted in Ekiti State.
Vehicles conveying the hoodlums were intercepted and all the armed men were arrested by troops around Ita Awure/Efon junction in the early hours of Wednesday.
Cutlasses, guns and other weapons were recovered from the political thugs.
Details of the arrest were still sketchy as the time of filing this report.
Eagle online reports that the PDP governorship primary is expected to hold today, Wednesday.
