The Lagos State Police Command says 6 persons and not fifty were killed during the militant invasion in Igbolomu and Ishawo areas of Ikorodu last Friday June 24th.
Addressing newsmen in Lagos yesterday June 24th, the Lagos state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said the command has commenced an aggressive manhunt for the suspected militants.
The gunmen, who were alleged to be from the Niger Delta, were said to have come in through the waterways close to the communities and started shooting sporadically, a development which led to the death of some people while others sustained various degree of injuries.
Owoseni, who was at the scene of the incident moments after the attack, said the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Owutu responded with his men almost immediately after he was alerted, adding that mobile policemen were swiftly deployed to be patrolling the affected areas.
