A Lagos State subub of Ikorodu, may have been sacked by
militants following frequent attacks which has led to residents deserting the
community and environ, reports ITRealms.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), several
residents of communities in Ikorodu in Lagos State, have fled their homes for
fear of being attacked by militants who have taken over the area.
NAN also reported on Friday in Lagos that life had become agonizing
for them following activities of the militia group.
ITRealms also gathered that the militants have laid siege on
the community for two weeks consecutively, robbing, vandalising, kidnapping, raping and maiming
their victims and efforts at alerting security agencies fail on deaf ears.
NAN further reported the militants steal domestic animals
and raw foodstuffs, adding that the gang was armed with dangerous weapons in
carrying out the incessant nefarious activities.
The fleeing residents of Igbo- Olowu community told NAN that
they had sent an SOS to the Lagos State Police Command over the development.
Full of fright, the residents added that many of them had to
vacate their abode for fear of further attacks and molestations.
One the fleeing residents, Mr. Mike Faleke, told NAN he had
left the area with his family due to increased criminal activities.
“The hoodlums are pipeline vandals who have resorted to
going to people’s homes to dispossess them of whatever they could find,
including foodstuffs, goats, chicken, pigs and other domestic animals,” he
decried.
