Four days to the governorship election in Ekiti State, the state Police Command has nabbed two members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who were found in possession of already thumprinted papers in favour of their party.

Intelligence report indicated that one Vien Foton vehicle marked KTU 477 DG Lagos was parked at Fayose Market along Ajilosun Street, Ado-Ekiti, the state capital on Wednesday.

Upon information to the police headquarters on the suspicious parking, a team of detectives was deployed to the scene to conduct a search on the vehicle where two leaflets of already thumprinted ballot papers were found in favour of PDP.

The two occupants, Ashiru Gbenga and Olaide Olayeye, were promptly arrested, interrogated and detained.

They are now helping the police in their investigation.
The arrest is coming against reports of alleged plots by Governor Ayodele Fayose in cahoots with some bad eggs in INEC to allegedly rig the governorship election in favour of PDP.
