Residents of Oba Nla, Oba Adesida road, Arakale, and Oja Oba areas of Akure, the Ondo State capital were thrown into confusion following a clash that ensued between the youths suspected to be supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Two persons sustained gunshot injuries as political thugs engaged themselves ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
Residents and passers-by of the area had to run to safety while vehicular movement was halted during the clash.
This came five days to the governorship election in the state.
According to an eyewitness, many people were injured in the clash.
