The Nigerian Military has continued the aerial bombardment of Fatola, the hideout of
militants and pipeline vandals in the Arepo area of Ogun State. According to online
reports, the air raid happened in yesterday afternoon and was said to have lasted 30
minutes. A fighter jet fired missiles at the Iroko creeks, leaving no fewer than 100
suspected militants dead and their camps/shanties destroyed.
Residents were caught unawares and had to run from their homes to avoid being hit
during the bombardment.
The Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar confirmed the air
strikes. According to him, the joint operation will continue until the area is secure and
free from all criminal gangs, either militants or vandals. However, he didn't ascertain the
number of casualties from the strike.
