Soldiers storm Ijegun over death of policeman
Some soldiers have stormed the Isolo local government area of Ijegun, Lagos State, over the detention of two policemen.
Recall that some angry residents had killed one of the men of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit and injured two others after the death of one Biliki, a shop owner who was hit by a stray bullet.
The officers had reportedly chased some suspected internet fraudsters, better known as “Yahoo boys” when they carelessly opened fire.

Sadly the shop owner died after she was rushed to a hospital.
The operatives reportedly fled after learning of the incident but the youth in the community held two of them.
Some of the policemen who escaped later returned with soldiers, the Cable reports.
As the youth, who lit bonfires in front of the palace where the officers were being detained, sighted them, they started pelting the security operatives with stones and bottles but they fired into the air to disperse the aggrieved youth.
The soldiers and some policemen have moved into the palace of the traditional ruler.
