No fewer than five persons are believed to have been killed after the Police, in collaboration with the military, raided a notorious area of Ajah.
The raided area, popularly known as Bollar, is a notorious area opposite Total Filling Station in the General Paint axis of Ajah. The area is said to be home to some hoodlums who raided Police formations in the aftermath of the #EndSARS protest.
They were accused of looting the Police armoury, stealing guns and even picking up uniforms of Police personnel. These stolen guns were said to be used by these hoodlums to perpetuate crimes and threaten residents of the area, even after the end of #EndSARS protest.
In a bid to escape from security operatives combing the area, some of the hoodlums scaled fences into neighbouring estates. A prominent estate in the area with formidable security presence arrested and handed over few of the hoodlums to the security operatives.
As at the time of filing this report, gunshots are still being heard in the area with many structures set ablaze.
According to a source who pleaded anonymity due to the seriousness of the issues surrounding the operation, even before the #EndSARS protest, the settlement believed to be a conglomerate of hoodlums from all parts of the country, is reputed to be a den of every shady activity.
