There was tension in Fatoki community in the
Igando area of Lagos as suspected militants stormed the area.
The hoodlums stormed
the community in the wee hours of yesterday and unleashed terror on the
residents. The militants were said to have attempted to abduct a wealthy man
in the area but the man fortuitously escaped.
The militants were said
to have started shooting sporadically at anyone they saw, and in the process
shot a Police Inspector and other people.
It was gathered that
the community sent a distress call to the Police who stormed the place and
engaged the militants in a gun battle that lasted for about two hours.
A police source told
Sunday Sun that when the militants exhausted their bullets, they escaped through
Totowu Waterways, Ogun State and abandoned some of their guns.
