Landlords and residents of Iraye, in the Eredo Local Council Development Area of Lagos State, have lamented the continued presence of soldiers in the community.
He said, “The Army arrested 10 indigenes and took them to their barracks inside the LASU campus in Epe and beat them.
“We petitioned the Lagos State Government but nothing was done; we also approached the 81 Division and what we were told was that they were posted there and that there was nothing they could do except to report to the higher authority. We have contacted the Army authorities in Abuja but got no response.”
Ibrahim said, “In September 2022, I and some members of our family were working on a portion of land in the community when we suddenly saw soldiers storming the premises and started asking what we were doing on their land. The next thing was that they started beating us; they asked us to roll on the floor and do frog jumps.
