Unknown gunmen attack community in Ogun state. New Telegraph reports that the gunmen were reportedly on a revenge mission. Ramota reports that they also shot her 13-year-old daughter during the course of the attack. Narrating her ordeal, Ramota said Waheed was shot and killed moments after he stepped out to urinate.
The grieving widow said: “I held him and was screaming for help, when I heard that my daughter had also been shot. “My family usually goes to bed earlier than 11pm, but because it was Ramadan and the kids had gone to lecture in one of the mosques, we decided to wait for them. “After my husband had ushered the children in, he stepped out to urinate.
What I heard next were loud noise of gunshots. “Waheed fell down and died on the spot,” Mrs Buhari narrated.

Confirming the incident, the state police spokesman Muyiwa Adejobi, said the militants were about 100. He said: “Information from witnesses showed that the hoodlums were militants and they came from the riverine area.

The Punch reports that Atorough was abducted at his post in Ibafo, notorious for pipeline vandalism and oil theft on May 11 2016. It was learnt that the alleged militants operating around the creeks in the area were flagged down by the corporal and three of his colleagues at about 8.30pm.
Rather than wait, the driver of the snatched car in which the militants traveled zoomed off. This prompted Atorough to chase them with a motorcycle alone. However, since he went after them, he is yet to be seen.
