Exclusive information reaching us is that agents of the dreaded Boko Haram have invaded a Catholic Church
in Abuja, the popular St Mary Catholic Church in the Karu area of the
FCT with a view to attacking members of the church.
A source inside the church who spoke on the phone around 14:00 today, say members of the church have remained
locked down in the church premises for about three (3) hours now as
policemen battle with agents of Boko Haram at the entrance gate.
The source, a lady, say the Boko Haram agents are:
Wielding daggers and other dangerous weapons and that
they have created bonfires on the major road and at the entrance gate
to the church. As at the time she spoke, she said it is a situation of "no going in, no coming out."
A top
security personnel contacted in Abuja confirmed the unfortunate development.
He however added that Army personnel who were guarding other churches in
the axis have been instructed to move to St Mary Catholic church
immediately.
More details coming...
