Vandals Kill Seven DSS Operatives In Ikorodu

Security sources say that seven operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS have been killed in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, Nigeria’s south-west region.

A top security source who would not want to be named says that the operatives were killed in the Ishawo road area of Ikorodu on Wednesday during an encounter with suspected pipeline vandals at about 7pm .

The incident is the second of such attacks within two week by vandals on security operatives in the area.

On August 30, four policemen from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad and Owutu Police Division were attacked. Three of the policemen died while the last one was injured.

A motorcycle rider, Ganiyu Bamidele, said, “The vandals usually emerged from Igbo Olomu road or Ishawo road; and when they do, they are always many; and their guns are sophisticated.”
