Suspected militants on Monday attacked the security team of Yetunde Onanuga, deputy governor of Ogun state.
They engaged Onaguga’s security team in a gun battle when she embarked on an inspection visit to borderline communities between Ogun and Lagos states sacked by militants.
The incident happened at Akoka Ebute area of Ibafo in Obafemi-Owode local government area.
As the advance security team led by the service chiefs was approaching Ibafo creeks, where the suspected militants were believed to be hiding, a barrage of gunfire ensued, forcing the law enforcement agents to take cover.
