Kaka whose supporters were the ones affected said “I foresee break down of law and order in today’s election because just yesterday (Sunday) 12 of my people were badly injured by people suspected to be PDP Omo-Ilu members. They macheted and shot them and police stand there akimbo. “The police did not make any arrest rather; they arrested one of my members”.
