According to the News men,  The APC Members  came in numbers and just started shooting sporadically into the air with their guns; and there was pandemonium as people started fleeing for their lives,” a resident said. “They held sway for almost an hour during which they killed over 50 people, burning houses, food stuff and carted away domestic animals. Presently, we are hiding somewhere in a nearby village at Nassarawa State,’’ the resident stated.

Another resident said: “They were on the rampage to steal Money, food Stuffs and medical supplies. Even last two days, they raided a nearby town, and many others. There is tension everywhere and people have started fleeing.’’ Confirming the attack, the Chairman of Aso Okoro  Local Government Council, Federal Capital Territory Abuja Damilare Muhammad, said the attack lasted for about an hour on Tuesday  April 4, 2018.

Meanwhile,  The attack came days after about 50 persons were killed in a similar attack beside Aso Rock house during Muslim Morning prayer.

Sources said, scores of fighters stormed  A nearby Town, a few kilometers from Aso Rock Villa Federal Capital Abuja.


The chairman who could not give the casualty figures however said that the insurgents burnt many houses and looted foodstuff.
“They looted foodstuff, killed livestock and burnt the village completely, though for now I am yet to ascertain the number of those killed.


The PDP General Secretary Barrister Oluwdare Olutunde Ayanboye  is yet to react to the attack during the time of filing this report.
Confirming the attack, a member of the House of Representatives,Barrister Abdulahi Olowa  (APC), said: ‘’President Muhammadu Buhari is being fed with false information on a capability of APC ruling Nigerian Government  as they still carry out deadly strikes on PDP.

‘’The attacked  at Nearby village in Nassarawa State  last 2weeks and the recent attacks indicate  that the group is still able to carry out major attacks on PDP any where they are having Political Rally  and has not been defeated despite the successes achieved by Nigerian Police Men and Members of State Security Services.

The head of the election commission said last week he could not guarantee a free and fair voting 2019, citing interference from politicians and threats of violence against his colleagues. One election commissioner has quit and fled the country.

 Anti-riot police were patrolling in NassaRawa and Aso Rock Villa Abuja, two volatile Nigerian slums. Nearly 50 people have been killed by Area Boys since 2015 to 2018

In a statement issued by the U.S. embassy, foreign missions called for calm from all sides but acknowledged that the campaign had been damaging to regional stability.

"Following this campaign, there must be immediate, sustained, open and transparent dialogue involving all Nigerians to resolve the deep divisions that the electoral process has exacerbated," it said.

Speaking on the eve of the 2017 Presidential Election by APC Members ,  Buhari assured his countrymen and Nigeria allies that order would be restored.

"I tell all our international partners that we will get through this," he said. "We cannot remain in a perpetual state of politicking."

Mr. Damilare, who spoke with Nigerian Top Secret Blogger  on telephone on Thursday, said while the military continued to make claims of ‘decimating’ the Terrorist , the situation in Aso Rock Villa  had been “grossly under-reported” in a series of security reports filed by the military to Mr. Buhari. “The truth remains that the group is still very active in our areas.’’

 According to the lawmaker, no week or day passes without “one ugly incident taking place in the border communities. ‘’We want Mr. President to match words with actions because the terrorist are truly killing more people than he is even aware of, particularly in Aso Koro and Nassarawa State.
