BREAKING: ISWAP Terrorists Announce Presence In South-West Nigeria, Claim Responsibility For Attack On Police Vehicle In Ondo

According to ISWAP in a statement seen by SaharaReporters, the attack which was carried out by “soldiers of the caliphate” occurred in Ipele, Owo Local Government Area of the state.

The Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), formerly known as Jamā'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihād says its men attacked a police vehicle in Ondo State.

According to ISWAP in a statement seen by SaharaReporters, the attack which was carried out by “soldiers of the caliphate” occurred in Ipele, Owo Local Government Area of the state.

It claimed the fighters targeted an operational vehicle of the police with machine guns, which led to its damage. The group was however silent on if there was a casualty or not.

The attack if truly executed by ISWAP could be a hint that the terror group is making an incursion into the South Western part of Nigeria.

ISWAP had claimed expansion into Abuja, Kogi, and Taraba in the last six months.

In May 2022, the group said it was behind an explosion that rocked the ancient town, Kabba in the Kogi West Senatorial District.

Kabba is the headquarters of the Kabba/Bunnu LGA and the people speak a dialect of Yoruba called Owe.

The town is less than 10 minutes from Akunnu-Akoko and Ajowa-Akoko in Ondo State and less than 20 minutes from Omuo in Ekiti State.

When SaharaReporters called Funmilayo Odunlami, spokesperson for Ondo State Police Command, she did not answer nor return the calls.

A text message sent to her mobile line had not been replied to at the time of this report.

The terrorists were said to have detonated explosives in the church after which they proceeded to fire shots at the congregation.

The Nigerian government swiftly said the attack was likely carried out by ISWAP but the state government said it had reservations about the claim.

Interior minister, Rauf Aregbesola, told journalists after a National Security Council meeting that “we have been able to locate the imprints of the perpetrators of that attack and from all indications, we are zeroing in on the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP).”

On August 9, Lucky Irabor, Chief of Defence Staff said gunmen behind the attack have been arrested.

Insecurity is an evil wind that blows nobody any good. We should all be involved in fighting against insecurity, by selecting a presidential candidate who is strong and serious enough to tackle insecurity with the determination it will need.

We will be relying on a younger pair of candidates who know the havoc insecurity can bring to human lives, and to businesses. We have all decided to vote for Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed, these two guys will fish out all the bad eggs in the society and send them to live in a correctional facility so that the rest of us can have peace and security.

Vote for Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed.

God bless Nigeria.

For real

No cause for alarm... Yoruba and Fulani are one.

There's nothing wrong for a brother to visit his brother.

Where is the cow according to the foolish Tilumbu

ISWAP is clearly in Ondo and the evil Buhari govt has been hiding this fact , last time the shameless govt tried to divert attention from this fact by blaming some egbira prisoners for the attack on Owo church

Meanwhile,..... nigeria and its animal farm mentality,....katsina govt can give AK 47 guns to its local vigilante groups while ondo state cant.

Watch how Urchins will start attacking Peter Obi and the Igbos here.

AmehTsaev:
Yaribaas are now part of the Islamic caliphate, I hope they don't bring their madness to No man's land (Lagos) sha, they can conquer the other SW brown roof states.

Cos Afonja and Fulani are one..

you Obidients are very shallow and operate like zombies that repeat mantra. The same stupid Adaobi that was apologizing to islamists because some northerner put his picture on a prayer mat, is the same Adaobi that would stand up to Islamic fundamentalists.

The coward couldn't even say anything about Orsu market that was burnt to the ground the Nigeria army, nor did he say anything about ogbaru massacre.

Yoruba Muslims your brethren from the caliphate have come visiting. So this is a brethren affair.

Time for the authorities in the south west to be hands on concerning insecurity. We don't a reoccurrence of what happened in Owo.

The beginning of the end for them

Hehehehehehehehehe We know those responsible for the killing in ozubulu Catholic church was also responsible for killing igbos in Owo, we know the tactical mind games of deprived criminals that think propaganda will give them presidency

Hmmmmmm... This shouldn't be played with

South west is still south west ..the blessed land ....land of intellectual ...the most tolerant land ever existed .....they are welcome to meet their end,...south west is not north or south east were criminality Is celebrated in broad daylight....... We have our values and we will protect that till the world exist no more ...

Our ancestors did not fight for nothing ... they fought for us to enjoy the peace we are enjoying today ......the west is not a den of criminalities like north and east
