Banex, Popular Plaza In Abuja Shut Over Soldiers' Attack

The popular Banex Plaza in Wuse area of Abuja was on on Saturday 18 May 2024 thrown into pandemonium as hoodlums launched a brutal attack on some Nigerian Army personnel who are on mufti and armless. It took the intervention of other security agencies on internal security patrol to douse the tension. The attacked soldiers who are almost linched by hoodlums were rescued by soldiers by special forces patrolling FCT.

It is important to note that the soldiers attacked were unarmed, did not engage in any form of aggression, and posed no threat to anyone

Therefore, the cruel treatment meted out to them was entirely unwarranted and unjustifiable.

In response to this unfortunate incident, a meeting was convened with the management of Banex Plaza to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous act by temporarily shutting down activities in the plaza to ensure that the hoodlums who have been using the Banex neighborhood as a sanctuary to pose a security threat to the Federal Capital Territory were apprehended.
