Major roads leading into Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, have been barricaded by thugs.
An eyewitness’ account has it that the thugs blocked the Olasore side and Efon Alaye section of the express road.
The Ikere section of the Akure-Ado express road was also barricaded by the thugs.
According to an eyewitness, some of the thugs said the roads will not be opened until 4pm today.
It is believed that the move was in response to Governor Ayo Fayose’s call for Ekiti people to take to the streets to save him from being impeached by state lawmakers.
