Gunmen have raided the office of THISDAY located at Utako
district in the federal capital territory (FCT).
According to the newspaper, the gunmen stormed the office in
the early hours of Thursday.
The intruders were said to have subjected the security
guards and production staff to “inhumane treatments”, threatening to kill them
if they made any attempt to alert the police.
The gunmen who were said to be in the premises of the
newspaper’s office for about 45 minutes, reportedly told the staff that they
would be back again “in the days ahead”.
The management of THISDAY said it has since reported the
incident to the police division in Utako district.
The attack is coming about 10 years after suicide bombers
attacked the newspaper’s offices in the FCT and Kaduna state, killing 11
people.
The attacks happened almost simultaneously.
The FCT has been recording a spike in criminal activities in
the past few weeks.
