Suspected militants have attacked a gas pipeline at Ogijo

community in Ogun state. According to residents of the

for some companies in Ikorodu, Lagos state. Commenting on

the attack, the divisional police officer (DPO) of Ogijo police

station, Mohammed Tijani, said investigation into the attack
