In a statement released moments ago, Mr. Abati assured that the president was not in any way affected by the bloody shootout between security operatives and detained members of the Boko Haram sect who attempted to escape.

Mr. Abati's terse statement, which was  released on social media, stated: "What happened at the SSS HQ this morning was an attempted jailbreak which has been effectively foiled. There is no cause for alarm.

“What happened at the SSS HQs has nothing to do with the Villa. President Jonathan is safe & well. Thank you for your concern & support.”
