The militant base in Fatola area of Ogun State and Some part of Lagos was trown into confusion on Thursday as Military bombarded the suspected camp of militants in the area.
According to source, the Joint military Operations lasted for almost 2 hours as houses in the area were shaken and scores feared dead from the impact of the explosions on the militants camp.
A resident who sent in the news said the Nigerian Air force came with about two Aircrafts and started shelling the place while foot soldiers surrounded the camp to make sure that no one escapes. According to him, "There are four major bases of the militants in the creek and they are
led by two men- OC and Agbala. If the military can get these two people,
then they would have succeeded in clipping the wings of the militants."

said, “The military officer said residents should not panic because it
was a military exercise. I also gathered that the casualty figure was
high and that a lot of the militants had been killed.”
