Boko Haram militants detained at the State Security Services facility in Abuja took over the complex for over six hours after disarming SSS agents guarding the facility.
The audacious action of the detainees led to prolonged negotiations that later resulted to shootings at the complex for over 4 hours, SSS sources told Saharareporters.
The gunfight at the complex known as “Yellow House” caused panic in Abuja as the complex sits close to the Presidential Villa and one of the most fortified areas in the national capital.
Soldiers and their Air Force counterparts were drafted in some few hours later to bring the insurrection under control.
Deaths or injuries as a result of the incident cannot be immediately confirmed. [SaharaReporters]
