He said, “I can confirm to you that DSS personnel and foreign soldiers visited our estate. You can contact them to get the details of what happened. Let me, however, use this medium to urge residents to be calm and vigilant. The rumours of a planned attack on the estate are not true.”
Meanwhile, the US in an advisory on Tuesday said, “On October 25, 2022, the Department authorised the departure of non-emergency US government employees and family members due to the heightened risk of terrorist attacks. It was learnt that some parents had requested the immediate closure of schools in Abuja until the situation was brought under control.
‘’Given the current security situation, and the foreign embassies’ declaration, or perhaps order, it has adversely affected private schools within the Abuja environs. Now some staff of these embassies have withdrawn their children from the top big schools in Abuja here,’’ he disclosed.
