Nigerian Air Force Bombs Ijaw Militants Camps In Ogun & Lagos States, Kills 147 Suspects
July 31, 2016 – Nigerian Air Force Bombs Ijaw Militants Hideouts In Ogun & Lagos States, Kills 147 Suspects
The military yesterday claimed that over 147 suspected Ijaw militants terrorizing residents of Lagos and Ogun state have been killed.
The militants who reportedly fled to the South West due to the ongoing military operation in the region have killed over 50 residents of Lagos & Ogun in the past weeks while few others were kidnapped.
The development has led to the desertion of some of the affected communities by residents as many of them continued to leave in droves until last Thursday when the military commenced a raid on the camps of suspected militants.
Speaking with our reporter, a local security source said that casualty recorded on the part of the militants as at yesterday afternoon might not be less than 150.
‘’The casualty as at yesterday as we were told was about 114 but this morning we heard that more of them have been killed and that the figure may be up to 150,’’ the source said.

Those bastard criminals terrorising peaceful and very accommodating people and residents of Lagos and Ogun should be killed in their thousands. The Southwest region is not part and parcel of the Southsouth region of Nigeria, therefore, its make no sense for those lazy and jobless criminals to terriorize us in our land. That is simply a declaration of war against gentle and peaceful giants of the Southwest region. Those Ijaw bastards have all lost their dignity, respect, and common sense for trying to distabilize our region in the name of oil exploration and revenue. I want to thank our men and women in the army for the good job of killing about 170 of those animals. Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Kwara, Oyo, Ekiti, and other will never become a dwelling place to Niger Delta Avengers or militants. I urge all Lagos and Ogun state residents to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities to appropriate authority. Eko o ni baje, ilu Ogun naa o nI bAje nI agbara Oluwa. Ami.

Let us hope that the armed forces would be very professional in the execution of this project, any deviation from that stance will be considered as ethnic cleansing or persecution by not-so- bright Nigerians.

The so called militants were fighting unarmed people and plundering their Communities. If they are as strong as they purport to be, let them fight armed soldiers. Mchweeeeeeeew!!!

Other news reported that the military used fighter jets to bombard the area. But a colleague here at work told me he’s aunti living in that region told them those who were killed in that creek were men,women,children who were buying and selling stolen fuels by this militants. The simple question I asked initially was that,are all those killed in that bombardment militants? The reality is that the situation on the ground might be more complex to have used a fighter jet in such an operation. The use of fighter jet in a region like this where civilians dwells could cause a wide spread destruction of properties and even civilian casualties cannot be rule out. The military objective is to take out enemy target but extra precaution should be taking so that this approach of attacking from the air might not result to a “war crime” which might latter be checked by the united nation under international law. The innocents should not be the one to bear the brunt of the militancy activities in that region.
