Boko Haram Attack On SARS Hq: Two Policemen Killed And Five-Armed Robbery Suspects Escape Police Custody

By SaharaReporters, New York

Thirty men being held for armed robbery today broke free of tight police security and vanished into the night in a brazen attack staged by Boko Haram on the police Special Anti-Robbery Squad headquarters in Abuja.

A police statement issued by spokesman Frank E. Mba explained that the incident happened at about two o’clock this morning when “unknown gunmen in large number attacked the premises of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS)” of the force.

In a duel which lasted only a few minutes, according to the account, the attackers were repelled but about 30 suspects who were being detained broke out of their cells and attempted to escape.

Twenty-five were re-arrested, while five escaped.  

Two policemen were killed during the incident, and two of the attackers were arrested.

“It needs to be emphasized here that no suspect held for terror related charges, escaped from SARS detention facilities,” the statement said, adding that no explosive or IED-related materials were used in the botched attack.

Although the statement did not say where the SARS location that was attacked is, it stated that the Inspector General of Police has visited the scene, and ordered a high-powered investigative panel headed by a senior police officer to investigate today’s events.  

He has also urged Nigerians to remain calm and vigilant, and 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.  

The IGP did not say what the “adequate” securities are for the public if they could not prevent the seizure of five men it had in its own care.
It was also unclear why the police not only lost two men in an incident which lasted only a few minutes by its own admission, but lost five escapees as well in those minutes.

And while it was curiously able to arrest only two of the attackers, none were killed or wounded.

CHECK YOUR HISTORY

YORUBAs FOUGHT INTERCINE WARS MORE THAN ANY OTHER TRIBE BECAUSE OF SUPREMACY ISSUES. THESE RESULTED IN SLAVE TRADE WHERE CONQUERED YORUBAS WERE SHIPPED TO FOREIGN LANDS. HOWEVER, YOU ARE RIGHT IN YOUR STATEMENT THAT WE HAVE THE HIGHEST NO. IN DIASPORA......THIS IS OUR STRENGTH.

YOUR GROUSE IS THAT YORUBA IS A MAJOR TRIBE WHILE YOUR ISOKO / IJAW(?) TRIBE IS A MINORITY. ANYWAY, EVEN IF YOU EXPLORE ALL THE OIL UNDER YOUR DOMAIN, YOU WILL STILL HAVE PROBLEMS.....YOU NEVER THINK WITH YOUR BRAIN BUT YOUR FEET. THAT IS WHY WITH ALL THE RESOURCES FROM OIL COMING TO YOU, YOU CAN ONLY BOAST OF MEGALOMANIAC GOVERNORS AND IRRITANTS (MILITANTS). IN YOUR DOMAIN, WOMEN GO TO FARMS AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR CHILDREN WHILE THE MEN LAZY AROUND AND DRINK OGOGORO.....WETIN FOR WHEN SHELL / CHEVRON WILL DOLE OUT THE NEXT LARGESEE.

@Danladi Markus

Dead-brains like you who thought they were voting GEJ but not PDP brought Nigeria into this mess.
So because I use the word "Dead-brain", I must be a Jihadist ? Jeez .. what a myopic fool ! Honest with dullards like you in majority, is there any hope for this country ? I blame your Uncle who left his computer unlocked for you to be messing with . Please crawl back into that oblivion you came out from.

SW

No problem, we will see what will happen in 2015. You are a bold enough to say the creeks right? Maybe you think the SS will sit back and watch these yoruba thief like OBJ continue to steal our resources to develop your useless SW. I bet you, if the owners of these oil you Yoruba keep stealing to go and develop Ota farm and the rest is disrupted from managing their resources,this time around, you guys should be ready for war. This is not the time where 50% went to the FG and 50% went to the state and Awolowo used it to declare free education for the SW. Name any Yoruba man after that who have done as much as that if not only to steal for himself and his family alone. Yoruba are cowards cause when Biafra came on board, they were too afraid to declare Oduduwa Republic as planed. COWARDS!

The bravery of the Yoruba people is second to none

Oduduwa, formerly known as Ekelederhan in Benin, was the first King & founder of the Yoruba dynasty. He was a Benin royal prince who conquered the Ife people & established a dynasty that still runs till date. This explains why the Yorubas have the same title of “Oba” just as in the Great Benin Kingdom. This is largely due to the ….. of the Yoruba.

b) Strength
c) Cowardice
d) Bravery

The highest number of peoples in the diaspora as slaves are the Yoruba people. This is largely due to the fact that their cowardice would not make them fight the invading foreigners. They kept prostrating.

...all citizens of SS & SE origin should come back home

...all peoples of SS & SE origin should come back home.

There is more than enough Oil money from SS&SE to pay everyone non working allowance.

Lets together build a strong SS & SE comparable only to Israel & Germany.

We have had enough of the alimajiri beggars & their cowardly Yoruba supporters. Never again.

They can force the Yoruba to have a Fulani Emir in Illorin but NEVER can anyone force the SS peoples. When we start witth our bombs, the whole country will realise that BH have been detonating very cheap local IEDs which they call bombs because it can take down only 2 storeys.

We shall redefine Bombing very soon.

Long live the United States of the SS & SE

MOST WANTED

In other countries were inmates escapes from detention facilities which are considered to be dangerous, their pictures and details will be all over both on TV and newspapers incase anybody come across them and inform the police but we were told five (5) dangerous people escaped from detention centre and not even a single name of one of them has been mention talkless of their pictures declaring them MOST WANTED......!!! something has to be done very soon to sanitize the system. Too bad

No response to DERI

No Point responding to comments made by Deri, Sahara Reporters should do more about disapproving inciting comments. Else it will be seen as promoting disunity amongst Nigerians.

Tundemesh & Nagodi 'Uncovered'!

But it might do u good 2know that even if u call yurself POPE John Paul, yur Evil Sentiments will still give u away! U r on yur way 2 Perdition!!

WHO IS THIS NAGODI ???

Those Vices u mentioned hardly kill at-will if they get wot they r after(usually money)..But BH? People that kill muslims,Xtians, pregnant women,children???

Will yur perception of BH change if yur child,mother or Pregnant wife is murdered by these 'Holy people'? God will judge u 4yur words..

Ye ye Police

Why are Nigerian Police so lousy to the point that they could not even protect themselves?
The picture of the station says a lot. The surrounding is bushy with low fence and no lighting. The premises is saying "we are vunerable come and attack us".
Two of their colleagues fell and five suspects escaped to return another day.
Mu mu Police!

@Deri: u are jittery, the bombs are getting closer to Aso Rock !

@Deri:
Looks like u are jittery, the bombs are getting closer to Aso Rock !
Keep chasing shadows. If you know Buhari is behind Boko Haram, that info is not useful on Sahara Reporters, please forward that info to your Clown Prince Jonathan and let him do right thing about it. He's got the police, army and judges so what else is he waiting for ? As long as the right culprit is found and punished according to the law, no right thinking person should have qualms about that. But your copy-and-paste business has no effect on anyone here, IT'S AN OPEN SECRET JONATHAN IS BRAIN-DEAD ! You, Abati, Fat Doyin and fake lawyer OC are only playing upon the stupidity of Jonathan to steal money !

where is buhari, dasuki and bakare-d buhari killing machine

@Tundemess u are not different from the animals in human skin killing in the name of buhari in the fulani North-has the Taliban not been killing american soldiers including their colleagues from Nato countries in Afghanistan daily? Are those soldiers not better trained and euipped than our almajiri buhari police men? So what is so special about members of this buhari brigade sneaking into army barracks and blowing the heads of christians off-where is bakare-SNG, occupy 9ja-and their maggot mouth Imam tinubu? I am not at all shocked to see these Fulani tuaregs invade our army barracks-cause most of those in d armed forces senate and house of rep like tambuwal are Malians who smuggled demselves into 9ja-apart from that we are wasting time talking about our UNITY in diversity! Unity built on the blood, sweat resources and tears of the SS will never work!

WHO IS THIS ONAJITE!?

"...all peoples of SS & SE origin should come back home.

There is more than enough Oil to pay everyone non working allowance.

Lets together build a strong SS & SE comparable only to Israel & Germany.

We have had enough of the alimajiri beggars & their cowardly Yoruba supporters."

ARE YOU LIVING IN OUTER SPACE ONAJITE? HOW CAN THESE THIEVES LIKE GEJ, IBORI AND ALAMS PAY ANYBODY ANYTHING? IS THE SS A SHINING EXAMPLE FOR THE REST OF NIGERIA NOW? WHO WILL TRANSFORM IT? DRUNKARDS AND "DEAD BRAINS" LIKE GEJ?

SUCK IT UP ONAJITE, YOU VOTED FOR A MORON WE PAY THE PRICE TOGETHER, NO ESCAPE! AS FOR YOUR INSINUATIONS, WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE SOME BEG, OTHERS TURN TO ARMED ROBBERY AND KIDNAPPING, YET SOME REVERT TO CULTISM. WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?

jonathan should step down

we are in a serious security problem,this creek man should step down so the experts should put the country in the right path,people are dieing daily and fanfare is organize to welcome patience from grave abroad.

Please this jobless national assembly members do something!!! no enough time.

@Mr. Nigeria

Nigeria is not a failed state, what is it? How dare you compare Nigeria with Israel? Is it Israelis that bomb Israel? Because you have opportunity to steal and defraud the country does not mean Nigeria is not a failed state.

IGP AND NORTHERN ELEMENTS ARE iNVOLVED

The chronicle of events around the the blood sucking boko haram sect point to high power connections. The stupid uproar by Amnesty Int, the fake cease fire declaration and the clamour by the hypocritical north for dialogue with terrorists, the anger these elements expressed when the security agencies place ransoms on the head of the blood drinkers are the cases in point. How can boko haram enter army and anti robery formations to cause havock. May be the armies and the policemen were busy sharing stolen money or were running for bribes and extortion and hence were taken unaware. Sure these are insider wickedness to shame GEJ who is indeed very incompetent. How does he expect boko haram members like IGP and NSA to fight their sect.Nigeria will rise again.

@tundemess-tell buhari d leader of BH, to stop the killing

@Tundemess u are not different from the animals in human skin killing in the name of buhari in the fulani North-has the Taliban not been killing american soldiers including their colleagues from Nato countries in Afghanistan daily? Are those soldiers not better trained and euipped than our almajiri buhari police men? So what is so special about members of this buhari brigade sneaking into army barracks and blowing the heads of christians off-where is bakare-SNG, occupy 9ja-and their maggot mouth Imam tinubu?

Which unity built on the blood, sweat resources and tears of the SS?

Nigeria Sinking

the rruth is that Nigeria should really sink first, so that a new one will come up. The present one is a complete mess and misery for the common man.

BEWARE! BEWARE!! BEWARE!!!

When GEJ sent his boys numbering upto 500 to abroad in other to be expert in terms of rebelious defence, then what would you expect?, he has his now, so anyone who can challenge him should do in anyway necessary because 2015 is fast approaching. Why do you think weapons are so easy to acquire these days. Once you have Millions of Naira your garage would be full in no time. Poor Nigerians, we all watching like Big Mumus while GEJ blood thirsty is quite near. So my advice to you all is better you start practicing anything at all wheather Martial Art or Takwando. Dont say I didnt warn you.

Perhaps our analog police

Perhaps our analog police force is being forced to confront digital terrorism. I think a change of tactic will make a lot of sense in the present circumstance. I suggest the use of indepth intelligence and counterintelligence. But I also suspect that there is a lot of compromise and fifth columnist tendencies. These too must be checked. While fighting terrorism, the force must also do some self searching!

Onajite a daft

Calling Yoruba people a coward shows how foolish you are,if not for OBJ how will a fisherman like GEJ become a president,non of the region in the can be compare to the SW, if you never travel to other part of the country from your creek may be you should ask ,no administration has perform woefully like your brother GEJ'S,it show you are only good for fishing and illegal bunkering as always,we are waiting for 2015 this is the last time any SS will rule this country if there will be any.

onajite's write up (nonsens)

I wonder why sahara desert refuses to verify most of these comments. They are so insultive to the good and real lovers of our dear country Nigeria.
