vandals caused Arepo pipeline explosion in Ogun State earlier |
There was
pandemonium Tuesday at Ikorodu area of Lagos State, when officials of
the Department of State Security Service, DSS, were attacked by armed oil
vandals, killing two at the spot. Reports also indicated that bodies of
the slain officials were also taken away by the vandals who ambushed
the DSS operatives around Owutu area of Ikorodu.
Vanguard
gathered that the DSS operatives were in Ikorodu to pay a last
respect to their late colleague who was, before his death, residing within the
area. However, the vandals who thought that the security operatives had come to
arrest them suddenly opened fire on them.
This
is coming as two suspected vandals who were said to have been the
mastermind of the September 1, 2015 killing of four policemen attached to Owutu
Police Division and Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, at Ishawo are currently
cooling their heels in the security net at Ikorodu.
Sources
close to Vanguard revealed that the suspects who fled Ishawo after the incident
were trailed to a hideout in Warri, Delta State where they
were apprehended.
It
was further gathered that the suspects who are currently being
interrogated by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad at the State
Command Headquarters, Ikeja, are helping the police to apprehend the other
suspects and recover the corpses of the missing policemen.
When contacted the
spokesman at the Lagos State Police Command, Ojo Offor, told Vanguard that
the Command is aware of the incident but that he had not been properly briefed
on the issue.
