A group of Yoruba Nation agitators on Thursday, November 4 reportedly attacked a team of soldiers around Oju-Ore axis of Ado-Odo/Ota local government area of Ogun state.

Premium Times newspaper reports that the agitators, while holding a rally, descended on a vehicle conveying some personnel of the Nigerian Army.

A resident in the area, Mayowa Aina, said the army had mobilised to arrest the situation.

His words;

“Some Yoruba nation agitators holding a rally around Oju Ore attacked some military men in their vehicle. In the process, they disarmed a soldier and carted away his rifle.”

Residents of the area said the heavy presence of military men later caused panic among the people, with many abandoning their houses.

The police spokesperson said there was no casualty recorded in the attack, stating that the police had restored calm to the area.
