Remi Abass, the former APC chairman of Irewole Local Government, was gunned down at the Ikire secretariat.
Eyewitnesses described a chaotic scene, with attackers firing wildly in broad daylight.
Police confirmed the killing and are investigating.
Abass had been removed from office by a court ruling last November.
Sadly, the violence didn’t end there.
Two more people, Ege and Igara, were killed in Boripe Local Government Area in clashes between rival APC and PDP factions.
Ege, recently, a defector to the PDP and the only son of his family, was among the victims.
A photographer, Yinka, was also seriously hurt. The escalating violence has terrified residents, forcing many to flee their homes.
