EKiti Crisis Latest: Panic All Over The State Capital As News Of Revenge Attack Breaks Out

P.O: If You are in Ekiti State, do be careful and be more aware of your environment. I need you all safe and don't be caught in the on-going political tussle.

There was tension in Ekiti State on Sunday as the news of a reprisal attack by suspected members of the Road Transport Employees Association of Nigeria spread in the state capital, Ado-Ekiti. This is coming on the heels of fresh allegation by the Peoples Democratic Party that the All Progressives Congress had concluded plans to import thugs from Lagos.

But the APC said allegation was a figment of imagination of the PDP, urging the police to arrest and prosecute anyone caught fomenting trouble in the state. The residence and five vehicles belonging to a former state chairman of RTEAN, Mr. Rotimi Olabiwonu, were on Friday burnt by people yet to be identified. The arson took place during the protest that followed the Thursday’s murder of a former state chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Mr. Omolafe Aderiye.

Aderiye, a staunch supporter of the Governor-elect, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, was considered as a rival to Olabiwonu, a loyalist of Governor Kayode Fayemi. The news of reprisal attack by the RTEAN members made motorists and commuters to avoid the Ajilosun area of the town. Police have beefed up security in some flash points in Ado-Ekiti including Ajilosun, Ijigbo, Old Garage, Fajuyi Park and Ojumose Junctions, when members of the RTEAN took over the place.

About 10 pick-up vans carrying anti-riot policemen and soldiers, were seen moving towards the side to quell the crisis, which a police source said was successful and timely. The fear of reprisal attack spread across the state capital like wild fire causing panic among residents including those going to churches. Low turn out was recorded in many churches on Sunday. The police frisked motorists while Okada riders and passengers has to walk through the check point.

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called Eurycoma Longifolia or Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will no longer have to pay hundreds of dollars to have larger penises” says Dr. Fi
