The Ogun State police command has confirmed the death of five persons, including a soldier, during an attack in Magbon Etido, Mowé, Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of the state.

The command’s spokesman, Oluseyi Babaseyi, disclosed this in a statement issued in Abeokuta, the state capital, adding that it was “an isolated criminal attack and not a bandit operation as being speculated in some quarters”. “Regrettably, a soldier on security duty lost his life during the incident, while another sustained injuries and is currently receiving treatment,” the statement read.

Babaseyi said, “Attackers abducted four persons during the incident. Police operatives, in collaboration with the Military and other security stakeholders, immediately launched coordinated search-and-rescue operations. One of the abducted victims was rescued, while the remains of the other three victims were later recovered.

“During the bush-combing exercise, a local hunter supporting the operation lost his life in an encounter with the fleeing criminals. The Command extends its condolences to his family.”
