Conflicting reports have continued to trail an attack by security operatives on an uncompleted building behind the Apo legislative quarters in Abuja in the early hours of today.
While a statement by the State Security Services (SSS) says that some suspected sect members have been injured and twelve others injured, eye witness accounts say about 8 people may have been killed.
The SSS says violence erupted after the alleged sect members opened fire on a combined security team which had gone on an operation behind the Apo legislative quarters in Abuja.
The statement issued by the Deputy director, public relations department of state services, Marilyn Ogar says the operation was sequel to information obtained from two suspected Boko Haram members, Kamal Abdullahi and Mohammed Adamu, who had earlier been arrested for terrorist activities.
The statement adds that the suspects led the security team to uncompleted buildings where arms were purported to have been buried underground.
