Security Beefed Up In Abuja After Brazen Attack On SARS Headquaters
Security has been beefed up in Nigeria’s capital of Abuja following a daring and deadly attack on the headquarters of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Abuja on Monday morning.
Nigeria’s police authorities said some 30 violent crime suspects were set free during the attack, and that two police officers were also killed.
A security source told SaharaReporters that the Presidency ordered agencies concerned with law enforcement and security matters to take immediate action to secure major institutions and locations within and around Abuja. “Heavily armed policemen have been drafted to man major government buildings,” said the source.
Vehicular movement in the capital has been very chaotic as police were seen conducting stop-and-search exercises at strategic locations throughout the metropolis.
A citizen reporter affiliated with SaharaReporters who drove around the city reported seeing visible signs of tightened security around the premises of security agencies, including the State Security Service (SSS), the Defense Headquarters, and the National Intelligence Agency.
A security source disclosed that the attack at SARS headquarters sent jitters down the spines of the Presidency as well as the country’s security hierarchy. A hitherto little known Islamist sect named Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina Fi Biladis Sudan reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack. To worsen matters, the new radical and militant group promised to attack more security buildings across the country to set free detained or incarcerated Muslims, including some women and children the group said are being detained unlawfully.
A source at the Presidency told SaharaReporters that some foreign missions had expressed concern to President Goodluck Jonathan about the deteriorating security situation in Nigeria, with particular reference to the country’s capital. “The resurgence of tactical and coordinated attacks by terror groups are threatening to depict Nigeria as unstable, tense and fragile,” said the source, adding that “an increasing number of foreign missions worth to see the trend arrested.”
Please wake up GEJ
The primary duty of GEJ is to protect live and property. Nigerians, most of them actually, have made up their mind not to vote him in for a second term should he indicate interest. This is too bad. GEJ, pls wake up cos so many people that voted for you in 2010 are dead, thanks to the sect. Be strong and courageous, I know you can turn this urgly trend around if only you put your heart to it. I know it's hard, but I believe you can save us. All the best.
what a display of shame
the cctv camera was contracted not to tackle security challanges but to create a thank u avenue for a political contractors to 'CHOP'. How comes is it that these camera never show the face of one person?. How comes these guys even shoot better than the trained security agents? May be at the negotiation table we will offer the bokos the consultancy services of training our security agents!!!
May God help Nija.
We condemned this abominable act
I want to as usual condemn this abominable act of terrorism as our leaders usually stated. Ofcourse no one is expecting any sensitiv person or leader to accept it. What is the difference between our leaders and ordinary Nigerians in the condeminations?
Our leaders pls be sincere for one!! Perticularly the Islamic leaders political leaders union leadres, student and youth leaders including christian leadres and particularly the PRESIDENT who has always condem this act we are tired of condemnation but CONDEMOLITION of the group
Danboyi Gomsuk is absolutely correct!
Please, read my article:
JONATHAN & NAIJA´S MUMU CHRISTIANS
on Nigerian Village Square.
There, I expressed exactly the same concerns.
Jonathan is sitting on a tinderbox!
WHAT SECURITY???
Security beefed up? Medicine after death. Same old story. Potentially great nation saddled with visionless leaders. I we going forward or moving backward, you tell me. I know were I stand, what about you?
You have spoken my mind, God
You have spoken my mind, God bless you.Nigeria should invest In technology and train her security personnels rather than investing In Ak-47.
Thoughtless Security
Getting iotelligence information and pre empting attacks is the answer not setting up a thousand check points . The terrorists are ahead of the security services in that they have their people embeded within the security services and this helps them plan and carry out their attacks and evade capture.
Security beefed up in Abuja
The security forces always respond when it is too late. Why did they not beef up security before the attack?? I feel sorry for Nigeria's security apparatus if the terrorists can be attacking freely those who are suppose to be the ones protecting the public. Its a shame!
HOPELESS GOATS
So, its only now that these hopeless goats are beefing up security. When the next attack occurs what will they do, pork up security and after that goat up security? HOPELESS ANIMALS
Security beefed up in Abuja
RUBISH SECURITY ,!THE SAME MEMBERS OR THE SEURITY ARE THE SAME PEOPLE TURNING ROUND TO ATTACK US THEN GOES BACK TO THEIR POST TELLING THE WORLD THE CRIMINALS VANISHED . WHO ARE ŶOU FOOLING .BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY AND STONG LAWS OTHERWISE FORGET SECURITYTHEN SACK IG ABUBAKAR .HE IS INVOLVED.
History about to repeat itself!
I say this without gloves: if these terrorists decide to assassinate Jonathan, it will be a piece of cake effort! The signs, covert and overt, are there for anyone who can piece simple events together. Jonathan once said that Boko Haram members had infiltrated his government, an info he must have got from intelligence reports. But foolishly, Jonathan had appointed potential members of this sect or their sympathisers to important security posts like the NSA and the IGP! This action is very reckless and akin to what Ironsi did when he overruled secret intelligence information regarding his life! If Jonathan should be removed the next president would be Sambo! So what makes Jonathan think that even a hitherto unwilling plotter may not be recruited into a net of conspirators if the raison d'être for this conspiracy were hinged on religion? Just like Ironsi was killed like a rat, only the opportune time will deal same blow on Jonathan because Jonathan lacks the self-preservatory instinct.
MAY GOD HELP US UN THIS COUNTRY
It is only God that can intervene in this nation call Nigeria, now that all man's effort has failed us, lets all call upon God for rescue.
Nigeria in Disarray
Nigeria in disarray, the criminals know a man without guts, courage, mind and will power is the President. They know he can't do anything, they know he is powerless and fearful. They know he is confused and shallow. They know he can be intimidated easily, a scary man hiding under the tables at the villa. GEJ is a big mistake that has cost us five years of static progress. They couldnt have tried this under Obasanjo.
Nigerians we have to forget north and south and make sure this four years that is currently wasting wouldnt happen again in 2015. Lets all consciously ensure this man doesnt come again.
I have always said it, the
I have always said it, the problem with our security guys is that they are not pro-active. They are known to react to situations only when it occurs.
This is our solution to security
1- setup a comprehensive database of all Nigerians and foreigners living in this country.
2. Create an identity system to recognize everybody in the national database.
3. Setup security monitoring system, secretly monitor telephone calls, Internet, CCTV cameras etc for suspicious activity. Hookup everybody's GSM phones and Internet IP to the database.
4. Employ competent security personals that are result driven and focused, not the get rich security guys, train them regularly, pay them well and give them a good leaving conditions as human beings. ARM THEM VERY WELL, AND MONITOR THE ARMS If the government can do this, the security guys will begin to be pro-active.

chijioke alias akpos1 a true igbo rogue
Attention all SR users: There is a guy who calls himself akpos1 shouting republic of SS & SE. This guy is a fraud/fake. his real name is chijioke, a typical igbo criminal who is trying to muddle up we SS with ndigbo. akpos1 is not from d SS and all his lousy claim does not represent our standing. igbos thru their biafra project are so desperate to capture our land and wealth, we SS will never subject ourselves to them. Beware of chijioke parading himsef as akpos1 who is leading other igbos criminals to deceive people by fraudulently knitting SS&SE together.
If Yorubas can maintain their SW without encroaching other people's land, why must igbos look for SS to shoulder troubles? SE go alone and if u cannot sustain urselves, let ur children apply for SW or SS visa.
My dear Comrades in SS, let's stand up against this greedy people who want to steal our wealth and relegate to 2nd-class subject. No way!
Ndigbos' dream of United States of SE & SS is a scam, it shall not stand!
What next?I have to ask
What next?I have to ask myself,as it seems as if my country is being overun by the overspill from the training camps which are known to all except our men in uniform.
Its quite obvious that for the past few decades so called fighters have bn trained and in the art of mayhem,going from place to plce.
A new ugly head has arisen,brazen and devout.
Can we handle this threat?Are more groups coming to take a piece?Or can our men in uniform stop this onslaught before its too late.
I fear for this my great nation.
Can a baby protect its mother?
Only time will tell.
JUST A THOUGHT.
The military is fed up with the death of their men
Wether they want to admit it or not, Nigeria is at war. The politicians through their corruption and ineptitude have created a huge problem and it is the military and the police that are paying dearly with their lives. Since Dumbo resumed as president in 2010, more than 1000 policemen and army must have died especially in the north.
I know that by now the military guys must be rethinking this democrazy and demolootry in Nigeria and I hope they act soonest.
This Dumbo will surely bite his ass someday.
Sleepy Security
Security beefed up? Where was security before? Sleeping? Only God knows where this country is going. It is getting more complicated by the day. Who is safe?
Security is not a priority
Security is not a priority for those in government because they are too busy looting the national treasuries. Everyday for the thieves (corrupt politicians) one day for the owners (citizens of Nigeria).
warning
This I think is a warning been passed across that these criminals have the capacity to attack any institution including the Presidential Villa. I wonder how the police will be so loose not to gather enough intelligence before the attack or better still invade and capture just 30 criminals in their own HQ. This is a wake up call for all. It is now very clear now that the Govt cannot even protect its own institution talk less the Nigeria public. God help us
ABUJA CCTV cameras
With all the CCTV cameras installed in abuja. We still have act like SARs attack. I believe our security official still don't understand wat security is. Which is nipping it from dey bud. I belive those CCTV cameras ar waste of Public funds.
IT IS A MATTER OF TIME
SOON THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE WILL BE SO PISSED OFF THAT THEY WILL BE BEGGING FOR THE MILITARY TO TAKE OVER, WHOEVER THAT MILTARY IS.
