The first sign of disquiet, which a
first-time visitor may encounter in the Ikorodu area as he approaches
the Igbo-Olomu and Isawo communities, is the ubiquitous presence of a
dark green Lagos Task Force vehicle stationed at a major turning.
During a visit to the area on Monday
morning, our correspondent observed that heavily armed military
personnel had taken different positions on the road, screening and
frisking commuters. There was an uneasy calm around the junction. The
silence contrasted sharply with the usual cacophony arising from buying
and selling in the area, as well as the sound of speeding commercial
motorcycles, popularly called okada.
Beyond the junction, the plains and
valleys of Igbo Olomu and Isawo, leading to the creeks separating the
areas from Arepo in neighbouring Ogun State, also swarmed with soldiers.http://punchng.com/militants-murdered-eight-landlords-one-night-ikorodu-residents/
