Journalists, party agents and observers on Saturday scampered to safety when the police and suspected thugs engaged in a shoot-out outside a collation centre located at St Peter’s Primary School, Akure.
The primary school is being used as the collation centre for Akure South Local Government Area of the state.
Violence broke out outside the centre as electoral officials were getting set for collation of the governorship election results.
“Leave! It’s not safe here! Leave now,” some of the policemen manning the entrance to the collation centre shouted at journalists and observers.
