The violence came during an exercise to elect a new House of Assembly member for Ekiti East Constituency 1.
Suspected APC thugs opened fire during a local by-election in Ekiti on Saturday, according to social media reports, instantly killing a female police officer and two others.
It was unclear whether the police have arrested suspects in the violence, which occurred at Ward 7, Polling Unit, during an exercise to elect a new House of Assembly member for Ekiti East Constituency 1.
The identity of the policewoman was not immediately learnt by Peoples Gazette, but a spokesman for the police in Ekiti said he had received reports and would soon issue a statement about the crisis.
There were immediate claims that those responsible for the attacks were APC loyalists seeking to disrupt the exercise across the constituency.
