The sad joke called terrorism has reared its head in Abuja again.
About two weeks after they attacked the Kuje Correctional Centre in the heart of Abuja the seat of presidential power, they have attacked some men of the Elite Guards in the same city.
No lives were lost, but some soldiers were said to have been injured.
While the Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, Guards Brigade Abuja, Captain Godfrey Abakpa, confirmed the attack, The Punch quotes a source thus:
“The troops of the elite Guards Brigade were ambushed along Bwari-Kubwa road. But the ambush was forcefully repelled by the Brigade of Guards troops.
“The troops were on routine patrol of the area when they were attacked. However, three soldiers were wounded in the attack and they are already being treated at a military hospital in Abuja.
“The attack happening within the area of Bwari showed that the terrorists are actually within the location and possibly to carry out their plans of attacking the law school in Bwari among other targets in the area.”
The attack came a day after the terrorists who attacked the Abuja-Kaduna train threatened to attack the President and Governor Na sir el-Rufai of Kaduna State.
