Militants flee Ogun, regroup in Ondo State Nigeria
Some vandals allegedly responsible for attacks on communities in Lagos and Ogun states are escaping in large numbers to riverine communities in the Ilaje and Ese-Odo local government areas of Ondo State.
Investigations on Monday showed that the
insurgents, who escaped the intensified aerial bombardment by the
Nigerian Air Force of their camps at Arepo, Ogun, and Ikorodu, Lagos,
had been sighted in Ore, Okitipupa and the riverine communities of Ondo
State.
A top security source told one of our
correspondents that security reports showed that some of the militants
had sneaked into the Ondo reverine communities.
He said, ‘‘Arepo can no longer contain them. Some of them have run to Ondo to hide in the riverine areas.’’
It was further gathered that some of
them were still trapped in Arepo and other communities in Lagos and were
making frantic moves to flee.
A source in Ese-Odo said since the
military started the bombardment of the militants’ camps on Friday, many
of them had fled and regrouped in Ondo State.
