A team of soldiers in Ogun State was on Friday, 4th November attacked by some Yoruba Nation agitators around the Oju-Ore axis of the Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government area.
According to reports, the agitators who were holding a rally descended on a vehicle conveying some personnel of the Nigerian Army.
A resident in the area, Mayowa Aina, told the publication that the army had mobilized to arrest the situation.
Aina said;
“Some Yoruba nation agitators holding a rally around Oju Ore attacked some military men in their vehicle. In the process, they disarmed a soldier and carted away his rifle.”
The heavy presence of military men later caused panic among the people, with many abandoning their houses.
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi who confirmed the incident, said the command is currently investigating the matter.
Oyeyemi noted that no casualty was recorded in the attack. He said;
“We are on the matter. We heard it that they (Yoruba Nation agitators) attacked some soldiers at Ota area.
“So we are working in collaboration with the Nigerian Army to get to the root of that matter. We have not made any arrest, but we are on it. There is no casualty.”
