The event did not go down well with the supporters of PDP, who planned to retaliate.
Afterwards, Pastor Osaze Ize-iyamo, the APC candidate, went to the monarch’s palace and the supporters of PDP stormed the place to taunt him as well.
The event led to a serious clash that has led to series of injuries and destruction of properties, although no life has been recorded to be lost.
