This occurred less than 24 hours after the United States and the United Kingdom issued a warning about a possible terror attack in Abuja, specifically targeting government buildings, places of worship, and schools.

As a result of this development, the United States government has authorised the departure of non-essential employees and their families from Nigeria.

According to residents of Trademore Estate who spoke to The PUNCH on Wednesday, the operation was carried out by the DSS and some foreign security operatives.

A resident, speaking on the condition of anonymity, revealed that residents of the estate were effectively held hostage during the operation.

He stated, “We were in our houses when our estate was locked up. They did not allow us to go out and they didn’t allow people to come in. Those that came for the operation were DSS and some American soldiers. What I heard was that they were looking for some suspected terrorists. When they finished what they were doing, all we saw was that they drove away with some people from the estate.”Jamb Result
