Eyewitnesses told newsmen in Ado Ekiti that the APC lawmakers were coming from Osun State and had run into the barricade mounted by the protesters at Ita Ore, a border town between Ekiti and Osun States.
The victim was said to have sustained gunshot injuries, as the police fired several shots to disperse the protesters, who had already taken over the Ado-Ita Ore-Ilesa road.
However, efforts made by the APC lawmakers to have a sitting was aborted, as soldiers stationed at Ita Ore were said to have prevented their convoy from entering the state.

As the protests raged, a Hilux van with registration number AA 363 YEK, conveying gun-wielding thugs heading to the Assembly complex had a head-on collision with a police patrol van at the Secretariat road in Ado Ekiti where three of the thugs were said to have been arrested.
Aside Ado Ekiti, protests against the impeachment move were also held in major towns such as Efon Alaaye, Iworoko, Aisegba, Ikere, Ise and Ogotun Igbemo. The protests stalled human and vehicular traffic for several hours as all major roads leading to the state were blocked.
