UPDATEE! Boko Haram Threats: Lawmakers, National Assembly workers Vacate Abuja

The Fear of Boko Haram Sects is now the beginning of wisdom for the Nigerian Leaders as there was pandemonium at the National Assembly on Tuesday which follows the security reports that the Islamists may attack the National Assembly complex.

The rumour of bomb scare forced lawmakers, National Assembly workers and staff of banks within the premises of National Assembly to hurriedly close their offices and ran for dear lives. Legislative aides and civil servants in the Assembly were seen discussing in groups following an alleged strange movement of some group of people whose mission to the National Assembly was said to be suspicious.

The presence of the security operatives, comprising the police and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, whose attention was drawn to the suspicious movement, actually heightened the tension by creating fears in the minds of the workers as the senior officers in the various offices directed their junior officers to lock up their offices and close for the day to avert any possible danger.
