The governorship campaign of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekperi, Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State, on Saturday, went violent with sporadic shooting, resulting in the death of one person and leaving several others injured.

An eyewitness revealed that the party allegedly mobilised thugs who went violent, aggressively harrassing, and forcing residents of the area to wear their campaign caps.

The resistance from the community sparked a confrontation, which escalated, leading to the sporadic shooting while residents scrambled for safety.

The deceased was reportedly hit by stray bullets from the convoy of APC gubernatorial candidate Monday Okpebholo, who had fired several shots into the crowd in an attempt to disperse the crowd amid rising tensions.
