The Director, Defence Media Operations, Major General Michael Onoja, stated this during the monthly Defence Media Operations briefing at the Defence Headquarters in Abuja. Major General Onoja added that during the period under review, 57 terrorists surrendered, over 1,000 arms and assorted ammunition were recovered, 18 illegal refining sites were destroyed, while 250,500 litres of stolen crude oil and refined petroleum products were recovered. Speaking further, Major General Onoja, on behalf of the Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, reaffirmed the Armed Forces' commitment to the protection of lives and property nationwide, and their resolve to ensure that kidnapping, terrorism, secessionist agitation, and other forms of criminality are purged from society.
According to sources,it took over four hours for men of the Lagos state fire service to put out the fire which destroyed goods worth millions of naira,including three vehicles parked at a nearby mechanic workshop.Eye witnesses are claiming that the fire started from a waste plastic recycling shop before spreading to the plank market,but Comrade Bayo Babalola,one of the auditors of United Waste Recycling,Lagos state,discarded the claim.He insisted that nobody knew exactly where the fire started but commended the courage of the traders who have started reconstructions of the market after the fire incident.
Very sad, pray this traders recover from these huge loss.Amen
