At
least 20 people are feared dead after gunmen attacked two communities in the
Ikorodu area of Lagos on Monday. The Elegbete and Igbolomu communities which
are waterfronts faced what is believed to be reprisal attacks after a task
force on pipeline vandalism killed two gunmen in the Elegbete community.
Although
the Lagos state Police command confirmed the attack on both communities, it
disputed the residents claims that the casualties numbered up to 20.
Elegbete
and Igbolomu have been deserted by residents as tension remains high and fear
over more attacks builds. Soldiers have however been dispatched to both
communities to prevent further attacks.
