Residents of Arepo in Ogun State yesterday embarked on a protest over discovery of bodies of three residents reportedly executed by naval personnel. 

The naval officials stationed in Arepo to check activities of petroleum pipeline vandals were said to have picked up the victims whose names were given as Biodun Mohammed, Chicago and Body, on Sunday at a beer joint. 
They allegedly dragged the men inside the bush at Voera Estate before executing them. Mohammed (24) was said to be a furniture maker.
The acting Director, Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Rabe Abubakar, did not pick his calls to confirm the report. But the state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the police had begun investigation into the killing. Adejobi disclosed that the police were making arrangements to evacuate the bodies to the mortuary.
He said: “The Ibafo division of the command got the information that three people were taken by some men at a beer parlour on Sunday around 8p.m, and they were shot dead and their corpses were floating on the high sea at Arepo. We are investigating and we are going to get the perpetrators.
