Aftermath of the gunmen invasion
Gunmen numbering over 100, invaded a riverine community in Egan Oriomi Otto Awori Local Council Development Area of Ojo, at the early hours of today, setting several houses on fire.
A one-year-old child was burnt beyond recognition. No fewer than 15 houses were also razed.
Furthermore, 10 persons were shot by the gunmen, while others sustained deep matchet cuts in parts of their bodies. One of the victims is a 90-year-old man.
When Vanguard arrived at the riverine community, the father of the burnt one-year-old child was seen carrying the charred remains of his son, crying.
More details later. (Saturday Vanguard: Text, Excluding Headline)
