How Abuja SARS was attacked –Witness

•Police re-arrest 25 of 30 detainees

…2 suspects seized as IGP raises probe team

From MOLLY KILETE.Abuja.

Barely 24 hours after storming a military church at Command and Staff College, Jaji, Kaduna State, gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram yesterday attacked the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) Abuja, killing two policeman in a shoot-out.

The gunmen succeeded in freeing some of their members in detention. Sources said 15 people may have been killed, but the police confirmed only two, even as another source narrated how the attack was carried out, saying it was brutal. The police said they have re-arrested 25 of the 30 detainees set free by the gunmen.

The attackers, who invaded the SARS office located along the Nyanya-Karu Expressway in Abuja at exactly 2am, according to Daily Sun sources, killed a police Inspector and an anti-riot policeman.

They escaped with a good number of their members in a shoot-out that lasted for about two hours. In a statement issued yesterday, Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), confirmed the attack and the killing, but said only five suspects who were not terrorists, escaped. He said the gunmen were successfully repelled.

The source, who does not want his name mentioned, told Daily Sun that the suspected terrorists stormed the SARS premises located around a mountainous area from the bush and forced the gate open with bullets and made their way straight to the cells, located at the back side of the building where their members were detained and set them free.

The invasion also led to the escape of other robbery suspects, who used the opportunity created by the Boko Haram members to escape. Apart from being well armed and prepared for the operation, the gunmen were said to have been armed with very powerful security light with which they flashed directly into the eyes of the policemen on duty to completely blind them mometarily.

The powerful rays from the flashlight they were carrying, was said to have had a serious impediment on the policemen who struggled to get their actual position.

Those who escaped were re-arrested in the bush, several policemen on duty sustained injuries and have been rushed to the hospital. Mr Mba’s statement reads: “In the early hours of today, November 26, 2012, at about 2am, unknown gunmen in large number attacked the premises of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Federal Territory Police Command.

Policemen on duty responded swiftly and engaged the gunmen in a gun battle that lasted for some minutes, at the end of which the gunmen were successfully repelled.

“However, in the confusion that ensued, about 30 suspects in the detention facilities of SARS broke out of the cells and attempted to escape. Tactical and coordinated efforts to re-arrest the fleeing suspects yielded instant result. So far, twenty five (25) of the suspects have been re-arrested, while five (5) suspects originally being held in relation to robbery-related offences are currently at large. Two (2) policemen died during the operation while two (2) of the attackers have been arrested.

“It needs to be emphasized here that no suspect held for terror-related charges, escaped from SARS detention facilities. No explosive or IED-related materials were used in the botched attack. “Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP MD Abubakar, has personally visited the scene of the incident to assess the situation.

He has equally raised a high-powered investigative panel headed by a senior police officer to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incidence. “Similarly, the IGP has ordered water-tight security around all government and police-related facilities nation-wide. The Police High Command uses this medium to appeal to Nigerians for calm while reassuring them of the force’s preparedness to perform its constitutional and statutory responsibilities of providing adequate security for the state and the entire citizenry.

The force therefore, enjoins the public to continue to go about their lawful duty without fear or intimidation as adequate strategies have been put in place to guarantee the general security and safety of all Nigerians”, Mba said. Meanwhile, the police have beefed up security around SARS office, even as IGP Abubakar and the FCT Commissioner of Police, Aderenle Shinaba, visited the scene of the incident to assess the situation.

Reporters were barred from gaining entry into the premises while a photo journalist with the Daily Independent, Jide Oyekunle, who tried to capture the scene was beaten. His camera was seized. He was detained for hours by SARS officials, who took serious offence by the presence of journalists. One of the sources that would not want his name mentioned said there had been complaint over the location of the SARS office considering the security situation in the country because the office is considered vulnerable to attack.

The source said the authorities were making plans to relocate the office. Narrating the incident to Daily Sun, the source said, “even though we have been complaining about the location and that we may be attacked one day, we never expected this kind of brutal attack.

“The whole thing happened like magic and nobody had the premonition that this kind of thing will happen in Abuja because we were all doing our job when at exactly 2am, we heard a very loud gunshot and the shooting continued like that for about two hours non-stop. “At first we didn’t know where the gunshot was coming from so, we took cover only to discover that the firing was coming from the bush behind us, meaning the attackers came from the hills and may have stayed there for some days planning their attack.

“The attackers succeeded in gaining access into the premises and went straight to both the male and female cells, fired several shots and forced them open and freed their members because we have some of them in detention. It was when they succeeded in breaking into the very place where we detained the Boko Haram suspects that we now knew what they were up to.

“Our men tried because they did their best to defend the office as they too engaged the attackers in a gun battle. But it seems the attackers came prepared because apart from their shooting continuously for as long the operation lasted, they were armed with very powerful torchlight that shines like mercury light, they used that light to almost blind us because we could not see them, but they were seeing us.

“So When the firing got too much for us, we had to run into the bush and remained there for sometime and in the process, some people sustained injuries and lost their personal belongings and by the time the firing stopped, we found one Inspector and one anti-riot policeman, those ones that wear red beret dead. “We just thank God for everything because we were able to arrest some of the suspects who escaped and some armed robbery suspects who are in our custody also used the opportunity to escape”. The source said.

      So sorry for Nigeria. Just bcos an Ijaw man is in charge, Nigeria is breaking into pieces.
      But I am now beginning to get convinced that Jonathan is weak. I love him and still praying for him bcos I see him as my brother. He need to be more proactive and brutal with guys that are bent on distroying his leading govt.. If Buhari is the president of dead Nigeria, he and co-bomber will not being doing this.
      Now, this is a must win battle for all Ijaws, South Souths, South East, South West (if…), all Christians (both Southerners and Northerners), Middle belts, every peaceful and law abiding citizens. Is not a GEJ battle, but a battle of Light and darkness.

Jonathan is the President and he should prove that; Nigeria need a leader who is bold, not like Jonathan who is so weak and so corrupt and cannot handle simple matters. Sentiment of any kind cannot help this nation, if he is your brother help him by giving him good advice not sentiment.

        It is not because an Ijaw man is in charge that we are having Bharam. After all there are far more courageous and intelligent Ijaw sons that should have managed this issue soundly. CRIME IS CRIME and not toys. OBJ would have handled the situation better. On this matter, truth and justice has fallen. Go ask Azazi how he was kicked out when he tried saying the truth on this matter. Instead of facing the real issue, some commentators would keep speculating Buhari. One thing is for sure if the govt and PDP had any iota of info that Buhari is involved, it will be blown open within second. But most of us dont think beyond sentiment of tribe and religion. If an armed robbery gang of 20 men invaded an estate of 150 people unchallenged for 18 months, can we image what might have happened within the 18 months period: The robbers would enthrone themselves, take charge of all the women, properties, children…and ensure the men are either killed or used as houseboys ….this is exactly what Bharam sect is in the north…let’s leave Buhari alone and face the actual issue…those that presented themselves to be voted for and are now being paid to be in power should go to work rather than looking for someone else to come from the moon or cajoling Buhari to mediate to solve what they are paid to do.. all they know how to do is to loot! But when their brain is task on issues other than looting, they will spine into action to divide us religiously and tribally and some gullible enough will support the looters that care less about majority of us…

    The Nigerian force should be more tactical and forceful to dealing with this sect. The story did not go down well as this bloody civilians storming the SARS barrack, killing and freeing some inmate. They should be proactive and not reactive to situations in the future. Anyway, congrats to those they were able to rearrest again. RIP to the dead officers.

      Kelvin,

      You dared to look in the direction most Nigerians will never do than blame Jonathan! What happened to the training and combat readiness of the SARS security forces? How can some people spend time in the mountians behind you to plan an attack which they launched agaist and succeeded? What happened to your intelligence services that they could not pick signals of their existence and plans before the attack?

      So many questions that instead of asking them, would be kept aside to abuse Jonathan here! So unfortunate that Nigerians who are so good in criticising another are not better off themselves in asking relevant questions?!

    Haa those who governs are those behind boko haram menace. The activities of boko haram are jihadist in real sense. Aparthed is the best way to curb with these boko haram insurgence because all the security aparathus has failed. Some sects members are from nigerian security agency and mostly from northern parts sponsored by northern political elites.

    Sounds like a fairy tale that bokoharams beat security in the seat of Armed Forces in Jaji, Nigeria; went into their Barracks and bombed church? The next day, they went to SAARS, killed the policemen: one Inspector and one anti-riot policeman at security post & freed their members. Come on! We all went to school. Our common sense shd tell us, “There’s internal link”. All this the IG is doing is pretext. Hausa moslems are bent on jihad to distabilize Nigeria just bcos they’re not in power. Have you seen any of their comments in any forum condemming the attacks? They’ve discussed and planned them. Their elders, politicians & those in govt are sponsoring and giving them information on wen and how to strike. Why are Nigerians afraid of National Conference to end this bad dream; evil marriage b/w hausaman and other sane people? It also seems like GEJ hs been hypnotized by this pple.

IN MY OPINION THE NORTH HAS SHUT THEMSELVES ON THE FOOT BY ESTABLISHING THE MONSTER CALLED BOKO HARAM, AND ALSO CALLING THE FEDERAL GOVNT TO DIALOG WITH THEM, GRANT THEM AMNESTY LIKE UNTO MEND THAT WAS FIGHTING A JUST CAUSE . AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, NIGERIA IS SUFFERING FROM THE INNOCENT BLOOD OF THE IBOS KILLED IN THE EARLY SIXTIES AND THE FAILURE OF THE SO CALLED POLITICAL LEADERS TO SEE THAT THIS PROJECT CALLED ONE NIGERIA IS A FAILED ONE. THE NORTH WANTS TO TAKE GOVERNANCE AS THEIR BIRTH RIGHT IN NIGERIA AFTER DESTROYING THE NATION FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS THROUGH THE MILITARY. MAY THOSE WHO ARE BEHIND THESE KILLINGS BURN IN HELL.

    Nigeria can never move forward as long as people tend to give sectional, religious or tribal sentiment to any national issue. People need to support the security services to tackle insecurity in the country, but not to castigate them. I am not a northerner, but the truth is that Boko Haram is a creation of Nigerian politics, which is characterized by greed and corruption. Above all, almost 95% of northerners do not support or believe in what Boko Haram is doing. So, those who are castigating northerners for offense committed by some few misguided people, sponsored and funded by PDP politicians, are either ignorant or sectionally biased. No matter who becomes President, as long as corruption and maladministration thrive in governance in Nigeria, more and more people will react like Boko Haram.

    Anarchy is loose. Nigeria lost its credibility. No attack of this magnitude shall occur with out inside help. soon the seat of the presidency may be attacked while we wait for another brief with useless lies.
    Every body in nigeria is fade up. Every big man in nigeria is a member of smugglers, bunkerers, 419 , subsidyscam, ethenic millitant supponsor etc.
    who wish this nation to survive. Boko haram is on plan B. WATCH OUT FOR PLAN C. but beware youths are soon joining them, if reddress is not carried out today, btw evil and Good. No one in nigeria merits to live under poverty. but these 10% elites are using our resources as though their parents legacy. beware even division is in police officers and army. there is no one to trust. lives may be lost. am againt boko haram killing of innocent men but just beware. no person shall be free.

    Boko Haram is Nigerian police and Nigerian police is Boko Haram. If you people are following the events of the happening, you will agree with me. Why is it that the whole this is happening now the pressure is high on IGP to charge this people to court and he gave a flimsy excuses that there is no law to prosecute them, while the national house of assembly has made and enacted a law that can prosecute a terrorist. We know the Nigerian police as liars they are full of cover up they never tell us the truth about who and who escaped. Remember the case of Kabil Sokoto; The recapturing of sokoto was due to the pressure mounted by the presidency. In conclution, i am saying that police are playing double standards if not how do they know that the suspected terrorist were at that particular detention camp. The earlier we tell ourselves the truth the better.

His second was also a muslim yet he did not change Nig to Islamic country, is it now u all think he is going to do it. I don’t think so. This a man dat fought corruption as a head of state. How abt WAR against INDISCIPLINE, go ask Umar Dikko how Buhari collected our money him he stole. Buhair is good man but our rich men don’t like him cos he will not allow them to loot. One day we will knw the truth and God will fight 4 Buhari 2 those who r lying against him.

We must love ourselves as brothers and sisters for us to be able to fight our common enemy (Boko-haram). As for our security outfits, thanks for your untiring efforts aimed at cubing the manance of this current insurgence against our great country, within the limited resouces at your disposal.

    Boko haram, Kidnapping, corruption and all sorts of anti-social vices are thriving in Nigeria today because one Jonathan has bluntly refused to take charge of his presidency, instead he is using his attack dogs like doyin okupe and all other ethnic jingoists such as asari dokubo to heap insults on any one who attempts to advise him.
    For me, i pity dr. Jonathan, because he forgets that every activity under the sun has time limits. When the time comes, he would account for the blood of all the innocent people that have been killed by this terror group that are running riot under his watch. By that time all the okupes, olisa metus, abatis of this world etc would have forgotten that they ever served in one mr. Jonathans government. Its well with Nigeria.

    Nigeria is never a safe country. How would a restrained culprit escape from a maximum security bars? It’s highly uncalled for. Well, Biafra is the hope of future EASTERNERS.

    Where else on this earth, a sect will kill over 3000 citizens and members of the sect in security custody are treated like king. Yes some of us would say GEJ should not be blamed…but when a president said that Bharams members are our brothers and should be treated as such..then being no1 citizen, he has sent wrong signal everywhere. To Bharams: they will believe, inrespective of the killings, govt is pampering them. To the soldiers: so we are being sent to die for nothing. To the police: why should we go ahead to prosecute the sect members in custody: To the other intended criminals: Oh it is profitable to do businesses by killings, it is justifiable. When a crime is allowed for so long then other vices initially not associated with the original crime would emanate..this is what is happening with our current security situation..

    I have not seen a president like GEJ who is totally too weak to act most of my brothers who made a contributory comment i thank U. President Jonathan is a laughfu-laughfu president, who is like a woman making love.

    It’s a pity to say this but i’m just triying to buttress his weakness ,Abuja has been attacked other sensitive place like millitary formation has been attacked and Mr president is sleeping when is he goining to wake-up frm his slumber before this so called boko haram will overthrow his government in ASO- ROC. GEJ DO SOMETHING? ? DO SOMTHING?? BEFORE SOMETHING DO U.

    Let us not be partial here, a real/true Muslim I know is not a terrorist, A true Muslim is a peaceful set of beings, so those who are claiming to be Muslim thereby killing people are religious fanatics. so let us not generalize all the Muslim to be bad people, they are not even in our own religion as Christian , we have fanatics although they cannot be a terror to anybody. We need to pray for peace in this country and even if we want to change a government, we should do that without our votes come 2015. I believe in peace settlement and not by violent means. May God continue to encourage the good suffering masses of this Nation, called Nigeria.

    GEJ is a slow, cowardly, ignorant and timid fellow who should never have become president. A president should be insightful, courageous and decisive. It is not a position to be occupied by just anybody, especially not a dullard.

    GEJ, as far as i’m concerned is too dull and NIGERIA does not need his style of leadership at this period. Nigeria is facing a grave challenge and we have the wrong person at the helm. May God help us….

    The source said that they went into hiding as the invaders overpowered them by the powerful security light that shines like mercury light again that the invaders might have been on the mounting behind SARS office strategizing their evil act without the officers noticing it… Wel i hv no comment yet…

    People forget about your ethnicity,religion,and come together in prayer and repentance for Nigeria.Nigeria is worth salvaging.To those criticising the president,know that the mess took a long time through various governments and will equally take time and committed leadership to fix.The president is trying to govern but all this distractions will make it even harder for him to lead effectively.It is sad that even SARS stroghold is not immune to BH attacks as our forces still think it is still business as usual. To ignore to monitor the bushes around the complex,not doing enough surveillance in a place that houses BH members despite experiences in the past shows that they need more intelligence work/strategy.The forces should be proactive and realise that they are in a war and cannot be caught sleeping. What is really sad is that BH got their training in the various branches of the armed forces and i think it is time they screen the recruits thoroughly to ensure they are not training more BH soldiers. May God bless Nigeria.
