Beginning of war in Nigeria....niger delta militants launch fresh attacks in ogun state

It's becoming a day to day activity for this Niger delta militants as they keep on blowing oil pipe lines..

The Nation reports that the gunmen
suspected to be Niger Delta militants took
over part of Ebute  Ibafo in Obafemi
Owode local government area of Ogun
state and stopped the government convoy
from accessing the community.

Princess Yetunde Onanuga, deputy
governor, was accompanied to the
community by soldiers, police officers and
operatives of the Department of State
Security Service (DSS).
The aim of the visit was to evaluate the
level of destruction to the community.
However, Onanuga was stopped midway
by the militants who opened fire on the
security agents and made them into a
retreat.
Secretary of the state government Taiwo
Adeoluwa, who was also in the onvoy,
speaking afterwards said the federal
government needs to intervene in the
matter.
“The team led by the deputy governor of
the state cannot access a part of our state.
It means without mincing words, the
federal government needs to get involved
in this. This is clearly beyond the capacity
of the police. We believe a major task
force, like the one we have in Niger Delta
is necessary and desirable now ,” he said.

Following the continuation of the attacks
on the oil and gas facilities in the oil rich
region the Federal government might
deploy some war-tested soldiers from the
North-East to the Niger Delta to curb
activities of the militants.
At the same time, the militants dared
President Buhari to visit the area.
