DSS, other security agents storm vandals’ hideout

A team of operatives from the Department of State Security Services (DSS) and other law enforcement agents, including the police, army and navy, on Saturday, stormed suspected oil vandals’ hideouts in Isawo, Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
The operatives stormed the community at about 5am, armed to the teeth. They positioned themselves at different strategic locations within the area.

This combine operation came three weeks after some vandals opened fire on DSS officers, killing over eight of them, taking away their corpses and guns. Five of the DSS men were alleged to have been taken alive. Prior to the attack on the DSS men, the vandals had also attacked and killed policemen and officials of Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSDCS) at the same location, disappearing also with their corpses and rifles.

When our correspondent visited the area on Saturday, some operatives of the DSS and Special Anti- Robbery Squad (SARS) were seen patrolling the Majidun River waterways with the assistant of naval personnel. The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, who was in the area, told residents not to panic over the presence of the law enforcement agents, as they were there to root out vandals in the community. He said: “The presence of the DSS, policemen, army and navy is neither to harass nor to intimidate anybody.
