Unknown gunmen dressed in military fatigue stormed an uncompleted building
behind Legislator’s Quarters in Apo, Abuja in the early hours of this morning
Friday September 20th killing over 10 people.
The people killed were squatting at the uncompleted building, mostly abokis
who polish shoes and sell water.
According to eyewitnesses, the owner of the uncompleted building had warned
people who pass the night in the building to desist from it, but they refused.
Then the massacre this morning happened.
A survivor said they pay someone N200 every night to sleep in the uncompleted
building and had been harassed and warned severally by military men to stop
coming there...but they couldn't because they had nowhere else to go.
A resident in the area said that at about 12:30am he heard gunshot severally
throughout the night, causing panic in the area. The number of people who died
may be more than 10.
