Military Intensify Attacks On Militants Camp In Ogun, At Least 100 Militants Feared Dead

According to latest reports,  at least 100 suspected militants have been killed after the Nigerian military, on Saturday, continued the aerial bombardment of Fatola, the base of militants and pipeline vandals in the Arepo area of Ogun State. According to a Punch correspondent who was around the scene of the incident at the time, the attack started at about 12pm and lasted for about 30 minutes as at least eight missiles were fired by a fighter jet which flew across the creek at intervals.

Another aircraft was observed hovering around the area.

Residents, who were caught unawares, ran for their lives due to the ground-shaking effects of the missiles and business activities were grounded as many residents fled their houses for fear of being hit by missiles.

A resident who was on the road when the shots were fired said the Saturday attack was more intense than previous air raids.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, she said, “The air raid started on Thursday evening. It was just a missile that was released, but the effect was serious.
