By the time the violence ended, a Toyota Hilux belonging to the state government had been burnt while many people sustained injuries.
The burnt vehicle was attached to the office of the state�s Head of Service, Mr. Femi Adewunmi.
Our correspondent reported that before the embattled former governor was brought to the Ado-Ekiti, his supporters had amassed in several parts of the serene town, to welcome him.
It was gathered that an attempt by police patrol teams to make the supporters maintain the peace led a clash between them.
The police fired tear gas canisters to disperse the supporters especially the State High Court Complex and the Ado Ekiti Prisons.
The situation however worsened when Fayose, who is also being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for money laundering, was brought into the city around 9am in a convoy of nine vehicles.
Sounds of gunfire were heard around the state High Court where the arraignment would have taken place and the Ado Ekiti Prisons as armed guards tried to disperse the crowds.
The convoy however drove straight into the prison yard where a combined team of armed warders and riot policemen stood guard.
At a bout 11am, the convoy emerged from the prisons and drove out of the city for the Ikoyi Prisons in Lagos. This was again accompanied with sporadic gunshots.
Justice Cornelius Akintayo, who had waited for Fayose to be brought to court, adjourned sitting till January 28.
Akintayo said the court could not wait indefinitely for the former governor and another accused – Mr. Akintade Olayisade – to be presented before him.
Fayose�s counsel, Mr. Owoseni Ajayi , said it was the duty of the prosecution to produce the accused in court.
He said at the time the case was called, the prosecution could not produce the two accused in court to be tried for their alleged involvement in killing of one Tunde Omojola in Ifaki Ekiti in 2005.
Ajayi argued that the matter was sub judice because the case was already before the Court of Appeal.
�There are two orders of this court that we are contesting in the Court of Appeal. The first is the warrant of arrest by the police; the second is the order to the prison authorities to produce him in court,� he said.
He alleged that the Ekiti State Ministry of Justice had shown unnecessary desperation about prosecuting Fayose.
