According to reports, the incident occurred at about 1:00 p.m. when hoodlums stormed the offices, overpowered personnel and torched “everywhere,” an eye witness said.
“The attackers said they don’t want to see any Nigerian flag standing in the area”.
Figures as to death and injuries could not be immediately ascertained as at press time.
Spokespersons for the police and the SSS did not immediately return a request seeking comments.
