ABEOKUTA—Following the killing of no fewer than 15 persons in Ogun State allegedly by suspected militants from the Niger Delta region, the State Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali, yesterday confirmed that the militants are desperately looking for a safe haven in the state.

The police chief, who spoke with newsmen in Abeokuta on phone said militants are apparently finding it difficult to operate in the Niger Delta region following increased military deployment to check their nefarious activities.

Ali, who spoke against the backdrop of Friday’s invasion of Imushin community in Ogijo area of the state by suspected militants, warned that the development must not be treated with levity. Over 100 militants, who stormed the community on Friday night, reportedly killed 15 people during a shooting spree that also left several persons injured and property destroyed.

The commissioner, however, insisted that only three persons were killed when rampaging militants invaded Imushin community on Friday. He said the heavy deployment of military in the region has promoted the militants to be breaking new grounds in order to continue to perpetrate oil theft, pipeline vandalism and illegal bunkering.

He said the riverine areas of the Gateway State have thus become attractive to the militants, who carry out attacks from the creeks and rush back. Ali pointed out that the same militants had been behind the recent spate of pipeline vandalism and economic sabotage in the Arepo axis along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The commissioner said he had already reported the emerging security threat to the ‘highest authorities.’

“It’s not true that 15 people were killed there. The DPO Ogijo was on ground; he reported that only three people were killed and their bodies have been recovered from the scene,” Ali said.

He argued that if adequate measures were not taken, the militant activities may snowball into insurgency. He added: “The militants are finding it difficult in Niger Delta and Ikorodu area of Lagos State. They are now moving to our side in Ogun. They are the ones involved in kidnapping and sorts of crime.”

“These boys are becoming lawless. It is the same group that killed. NNPC officials, SSS and Navy officers in Arepo. They are responsible for lots of criminal activities in the area.  Honestly, they should be treated like Boko Haram.”

Watching d movie

2nd TC, I dedicate it to Buhari's Ear

NDA made it clear their struggle won't go beyond the confines of the Niger Delta... The Yorubas should look closely. Their kinsmen are most likely responsible.

If this true, "IF," then the NDA have metamorphosised from militants to terrorists

All atrocities now attributed to Avengers and fulani herdsmen cos they are latest criminals in town....


The problem is criminality/terrorism is now the order of day in Nigeria, different groups surfacing each day...Only God can save us.

As for me the country Nigeria has expired few years ago enough of all this patch patch.... Let everyone Forge their path for peace to reign.. Enough of this blood spilling.

This news is a fabricated lie. The militants have been operating for many years in ikorodu unhindered even with the deployment of soldiers late last year, nothing changed because the soldiers as usual have been bribed by the militants. These guys are on a normal day pipeline vandals around the stretch of ikorodu and arepo.

Niger Delta militants have become the whipping boys.

when fulani killed aguta people, them investigate even when it was glaring that the fulanis did it. they didnt even investigate, they just jumped into conclusion

No safe Haven in Ogun except in the GRAVE...

Would you believe anything those boys say?

Not Again

My people dont kill
Their aim is operation zero crudeoil

In as much as I don't support violence, I don't think that this is the handiwork of NDA Because their modus operandi is against killing of human lives!

But let the NPF do their jobs!

I bliv dem no knw d meaning of Ogun in Real Yoruba

Ogun state indigenes should dissociate themsleves from this news because it will only give FG reason to send soldiers there maim their innocent youths

Holy ghost fire.......

Yoruba mercenaries

Lazy policemen always looking for who to blame and inciting tribal war.

Wetin go carry NDA go Ogun State or any yorubaland to go kill?

Let the reasonable Yoruba people sort among themselves who among them is killing them instead of swallowing hook, line and sinker what these black uniformed men are saying

And NDA are not killing citizen

Everything crime now na NDA, does that mean that OPC can't commit such crime..

It will be hard to believe that NDA will leave the creek of niger delta to come to all the way to ogun to rob citizens when they have foreign expatriate to kidnap in their backyard..
Hard to believe..

Bad news everywhere

Na boko haram don enter so

Another propaganda and misdirection from a bastard! There is no light! No food! No water! Bad economy! Situp! Tell ur oga to wise up!
Not putting incompetent vagabonds on sit!
