Speaking to THE WHISTLER, the State’s Police spokesperson, Odunlami Ibukun said she could not verify the location of the incident and gave no further details of the situation.

Accounts from social media indicate there were sounds of gunshots on Wednesday night around the company, which THE WHISTLER gathered is located after a technical college in Folahanmi.

A search on Google Earth only showed the company’s office, located in Lagos State.

On June 5, armed men invaded St Francis Church, Owo, and killed at least 40 worshippers and injured 61.

Since the Kuje Jailbreak, over three weeks ago, the country has had its head behind her shoulder, due to security alarms revealing plots by terrorists to perpetrate attacks.

Security agencies have, however, directed the adequate deployment of personnel to strategic areas of the country.
