A lot of Abuja residents woke up this morning to sounds of gun shots, as a lot of them stayed glued in their homes in order to be safe because they didn't know what was happening at first. Rumours had it that the presidential Villa was been attacked by the Boko Haram sect, but the special adviser to the President on media and publicity, Reuben Abati was fast to debunk the rumour on twitter saying, it was an attempted jailbreak and the rumours are far from the truth.
‘What happened at the SSS HQ this morning was an attempted jailbreak which has been effectively foiled. There is no cause for alarm’ he said.
Meanwhile Marilyn Ogar, spokesman for the DSS has issued a statement about the incident which occurred at the headquarters of the Nigeria’s secret police. Find it after the cut.
Marilyn Ogar, spokesperson for the DSS issued a statement earlier today on the attempted jailbreak at the headquarters of the Nigeria’s secret police:
“At 0715 hours, the Service suspect handler went to the detention facility within the Headquarters to feed the suspects.
“One of the suspects attempted to disarm him by hitting him at the back of his head with his handcuff.
“His attempt to escape drew the attention of other guards at the facility who fired some shots to warn and deter others.
“The gun shots attracted the attention of the military with whom we have an understanding of mutual assistance in the event of any threat.
“The Army immediately deployed a team to reinforce our perimeter guards to forestall any external collaborators.
“The situation has since been brought under control. Further details will be communicated”.
