Gunmen have invaded Thisday office in Utako, Abuja on Thursday, threatening to kill some workers.
The incident, according to the newspaper, happened in the early hours of Thursday.
The assailants came in through the back fence of the company’s premises.
Although the mission of the armed men, who arrived the premises at about 3.am on Thursday has yet to be ascertained, the company’s private security men, who were on duty, said the armed men subjected everyone on duty, mostly the production staff members, to inhuman treatment – threatening to kill all of them if they attempted to alert policemen.
“The armed men, who left after about 45 minutes of frightening operation, vowed to come back again in the days ahead,” the newspaper reported.
The management of the newspaper has since reported the matter at the Divisional Police Headquarters, in Utako, Abuja.
On April 26, 2012, some suicide bombers hit THISDAY offices in Abuja and Kano, killing at least 11 persons.
However, while rescue was ongoing in Abuja in the wake of the attack, another explosion went off in its Kaduna office.
