Three persons including a policewoman have been killed by thugs in the by-election for the Ekiti East Constituency (I) seat in Ekiti house of assembly.
The seat became vacant following the death of Juwa Adegbuyi, former representative of the constituency.
Several vehicles were also vandalised in the violence at different polling units.
Biodun Olujimi, senator representing Ekiti South, was said to have escaped by whiskers as the thugs went on a rampage in her polling units in Omuo Ekiti.
The PREMIER NEWS understands that the deceased policewoman is a nursing mother.
