The state governor, Dapo Abiodun was hurriedly whisked away by the security operatives during the gun duel.

Our correspondent gathered that two cults in the council engaged in a  supremacy battle shortly after the governor arrived the campaign venue.

The Chief of Staff to the Governor, Shuaib Salis, reportedly comes from the council.

A source told our correspondent that one of the cultists shot a member of another group in the head in the head.

This development prompted the people to take to their heels while the suspected killer was reportedly shot dead in a reprisal.

Abiodun, after he was rescued, was later seen at another campaign ground for the Abeokuta  North to round off the  state-wide campaign ahead of the council poll slated for Saturday .

The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the command was not aware of the incident.
