The group said it has put its house in order.
Gunmen, early Monday, attacked the headquarters of the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, in Abuja leading to a shoot-out for many
hours.
The men are believed to be members of the Boko Haram who attempted to free their members being held by the police.
PREMIUM TIMES learnt that the attack was repelled by the police. No casualty has been reported
This daring attack is coming less than 24 hours after suspected Boko
Haram members detonated explosives at a church in a major military
training compound in Jaji, Kaduna State.
A man, who claimed to be a senior member of the sect told PREMIUM
TIMES, Monday, that “we (the group) have put our house in order and
Nigerians have not seen anything yet.”
Police Force spokesperson, Frank Mba, could not be reached for comment.
Security operatives have already cordoned the Apo area of Abuja where
the attack occured. A manhunt is already being carried out to locate
the attackers who may still be in the area according to security
sources.
The security forces last week declared the leaders of the sect wanted, placing a bounty on them.
