Heavy gunfire exchanges rocks the vicinity of Nigeria’s presidential palace and the headquarters of the Department of State Services in the Asokoro District of Abuja as reported by Premium Times in the past one hour.
According to the reports, residents of the nearby Aso Drive Area said the gunshots were either coming out of the SSS headquarters or the presidential villa.
One of the resident said, “We don’t know what’s going on here. Heavy gunfire has been coming from the direction of the villa. The entire area has been barricaded. SSS operatives are scampering out of their headquarters as the gunshots get louder.
“Soldiers are now heading in the direction of the SSS headquarters with Armoured Personnel Carriers. Those of us living around here have been asked to stay indoors and not venture out.”
Reacting to the incidence, spokesperson of the SSS, Marilyn Ogar, said the gunshots were triggered by attempted jailbreak at the Service’s headquarters by suspected members of the extremist Boko Haram sect.
She said, “What happened was that the suspects’ handlers went to feed the detainees here but suddenly they attacked him with their handcuffs, disarmed him and started shooting.
“The military was quickly called in before they could do any harm and that is responsible for the shootings you heard.
“It was an attempted jailbreak but it has been brought under control.”
*Please security around the villa should be really tightened.this was probably a test by these people to know how easily they can penetrate....if they can even shoot near there,that tells a lot......This is really scary!

Reuben has issued a statement on behalf of the presidency. He says that the villa is safe and the president was in church this morning as usual. He however appreciates the concerns from all and sundry as regards the President's well being...a reaction he passes as one which indicates that Nigerians love Mr President. reporting live from my bedroom. Lol.
DeleteOne of the major problems I have come to realize plaguing this country and the world all over is misleading information.... Now pictures were shown yesterday of soldiers taking cover.. But, not one picture of a killed so called 'aso rock attackers'.. I live in abuja, and am a security personnel.. When events that threatens the capital of a country arises, the first thing the security outfits like the soldiers and sss will do is to cordon off every routes and exits leading to the residence of the presidency, even though the incident is taking place elsewhere... The sss office is no where near aso villa, yet people have misled the public into believing the attack was targeted @ the aso villa.. Please, let us be careful with what we feed the public, information is power - the power to kill or strengthen our confidence depending on whether that information is true or misleading... And we must all understand and accept the painful and frustrating fact that, there are some sensitive information(sensitive to national security) that can never be public knowledge.. So, the real enemies of the state are those ones who have fallen out with the government and feel that the only way they can get back @ the govt is by misleading the public and instigating fear and hatred.. You have been warned
DeleteIf you look at people like Pat Utomi, Tunde Bakare.. These are prominent men who are ever against the government and its policies, but you will never see them scoring cheap political points by misleading the public.. So, go figure
They would never suceed,people must take responsibilities for their actions,they want to form prison break.,criminals very useless people.
