BRITAIN has urged its citizens
living in Abuja to maintain a state of heightened vigilance after the city was
thrown into panic yesterday following a failed jail breakout attempt by members
of Boko Haram.
Yesterday morning, 21 people were
left dead after Boko Haram members on remand at the Department of State
Services (DSS) headquarters in Abuja tried to escape. Security officials were
able to foil the attempted escape but in doing so, killed 18 Boko Haram members
and three other detainees,. while two DSS operatives sustained serious
injuries.
However, the sound of gunshots in
the upmarket Asokoro neighbourhood where the DSS has its headquarters created
confusion and panic in Abuja. In a swift response, the British Foreign
Commonwealth Office immediately issued was in effect a revised travel alert,
advised its citizens to be vigilant should they need to go to Asokoro or The
Three Arms Zone in Abuja.
A high commission official said: “On
the morning of March 30, there was an incident involving exchange of gunfire
within a Nigerian government compound in the Asokoro area in Abuja. The
incident was brought under control swiftly and the Nigerian government has now
confirmed that the incident is over and has declared the area safe.
“We recommend that British citizens
maintain heightened vigilance in Abuja, particularly after dark. Given today’s
incident, we ask them to be especially vigilant should they need to go to
Asokoro or The Three Arms Zone.”
Apparently, the detained terrorists
over-powered the guards at the facility and shot several operatives in a daring
attempt to stage an escape. According to one security source, one of the Boko
Haram members was allowed access to the toilet without being leg-chained and on
getting there, uprooted the toilet seat and attacked the operative who escorted
him there with it.
This DSS operative was said to have collapsed, allowing the Boko Haram member to seize his gun of the operative and then open fire on the other guards and set some of his colleagues free. However, DSS operatives were later mobilised and a one hour shoot-out ensued between them and the terrorists before security was re-enforced, with soldiers later drafted in. (Nigerian Watch)
