Gunmen Attack Police Headquarters Unit, in Abuja day After Kaduna Barracks Twin Bombing

The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria Police Force headquarters in Abuja was attacked early Monday morning by a group of unidentified gunmen.

The SARS HQ is one of the places Boko Haram suspects are normally held when transferred to Abuja.

The police however told reporters that the attack was repelled by the security operatives on duty.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack but it mirrors the style of the dreaded Islamist sect, Boko Haram.
This attack comes a day after a double suicide bombing killed 11 people in a church inside a military barracks in Kaduna state, north- central Nigeria.
A military source confirmed on Sunday that a bus entered the barracks and was driven into the wall of the Saint Andrews Protestant Church, where it exploded and ten minutes later another car blew up outside the church.

Though the first blast caused no casualties, the second blast however did as curious worshippers gathered around the scene of the first blast looking at the debris of the initial explosion.
