Stern looking fully armed security operatives from the
Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Police Force on Tuesday morning surrounded the
headquarters of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation in Abuja.
Although
officials of the corporation denied any bomb threat, our correspondent gathered
that the heavily armed men were drafted to site following claims of possible
attack on the NNPC towers by terrorists.
Asked to comment
on why there was huge security presence at the towers, a visibly angry officer
on duty at the corporation declared, “are you new in this country or are you
not aware of happenings in the north? Come on keep moving!”
The security officials ensured that there was free flow
of traffic on roads leading to the corporation.
It was also
learnt that the security operatives, who arrived the venue around 6am on
Tuesday morning, restricted movement into the towers. Those allowed entry were
mainly employees, while visitors were thoroughly screened.
At the public
car park opposite the corporation, it was observed that no vehicle was allowed
to park.
The armed men
ensured that nobody was allowed to wait around the area. Any attempt to stop,
the closest security official around would screem, “keep moving please!”
