There was pandemonium on Thursday in the Arepo area of Ogun State and some part of Lagos State after the military bombarded the base of suspected militants in the states.The PUNCHlearnt that scores of militants were reportedly killed in the joint military operation which lasted for more than one hour.A source said the military attacked Fatola, the base of the militants, addingthat houses around the area were shaken by the impact of bomb explosions on the Ijaw militants.He said, “There has been a lot of commotion. The Nigerian Air Force bombarded Fatola, in Arepo, which is the base of the militants. They are shelling the place with fighter jets. Some soldiers also surrounded the area to make sure that if any of the militants should run out, they would be gunned down.”A resident said people in the area had started fleeing their homes due to the bombardment.Another resident in the Imushin area of Ogun State told our correspondent that two aircrafts were involved in the operation, adding that only one base of the militants was attacked.He said, “An aircraft had actually been surveying the creek for the past three days. But a second one joined this evening around 6pm. All we heard was a sudden bomb blast released from thesecond aircraft. But it appeared that some of the militants had fled into the bush. There are four major bases of themilitants in the creek and they are led by two men- OC and Agbala. If the military can get these two people, then they would have succeeded in clipping the wings of the militants.”A community leader, who claimed to have spoken with one of the officers, said, “The military officer said residentsshould not panic because it was a military exercise.

War don start ooooo.

Part one was Nigeria vs Boko Haram.

Part two is now between Nigeria and Niger Deltan militants. How long will this one last, I wonder. Will it end in giving these miscreants another amnesty again?

Amnesty? For where? Not when we have a president that is ready to make difficult decisions. That's what most people don't get about being a leader. In a time like this there is no better options, you just have to choose one evil over another.

Some people will not like this news in the morning.
These militants thinks they can just come here and start doing their village things.

They shouldn't have make it come to this.
