Damola was said to have collapsed while attempting to escape from the operatives. He was rushed to a hospital but was later confirmed dead.
The incident reportedly caused tension in the community, prompting security operatives to strengthen their presence in the area.
The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed the incident, adding that an investigation is currently ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding the case.
In another development, GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that tragedy struck the mainly coastal community of Okrika in Rivers State on Thursday as no fewer than 37 persons, suspected to be illegal oil bunkerers, lost their lives after inhaling fumes from a petroleum product believed to be crude oil.
The incident has shattered the quiet of the riverside community, with many more people still unaccounted for.
The incident occurred at about 12:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 3, 2026, at the Okari Jetty in the Okrika Mainland area, when over 100 persons from Okrika and neighbouring communities reportedly stormed the jetty in locally made boats to load petroleum products from an illegally tapped point.
A vessel was also anchored at the site, loading the same product for export. READ MORE
