SaharaReporters can authoritatively confirm that the eight
persons shot and killed by Nigerian security agents in Abuja on Friday
were in no way connected to the dreaded Boko Haram sect as claimed by the
spokesperson of the Nigerian secret police, Marilyn Ogar. The scene of the killings was an uncompleted building at Bamanga Tukur Street in the Apo Legislative Quarters, picture below:
Seventeen of the people who survived the killings by uninformed men of the Joint Task Force, (JTF), on their hospital bed spoke to reporters and confirmed that they were not members of the militant group, Boko Haram.
One of the survivors said they are day labourers who work in the city
to make ends meet, and later squat in uncompleted buildings by paying
the guards attached to those buildings. This morning, he said, they were
woken up by a surprising hail of bullets from the uniformed.
Providing
some background, he disclosed that an emissary of an army general had
given them a five-day quit notice but that today’s slaughter was carried
out before they could move from the building.
Nigerian security agents insist that they killed the civilians after
they first came under attack while trying to dig out weapons hidden
underground by the insurgents, but one of the injured squatters told
SaharaReporters categorically that the soldiers fled the scene after
finding out they had killed innocent civilians.
“It was after the
attack that some policemen and the SSS came to the scene and even tried
to help those of us that survived to get to hospital,” he said.
This looks like some form of conspiracy to me, be cause if they were recovering weapons and got attacked, that should be their excuse for retaliating, running away means they were wrong all the way.
