This is coming just as normalcy has returned to the three arm zone, where a detachment of soldiers deployed to take charge of the situation had started leaving the place at about 3.36pm.
There were however, some soldiers on ground to monitor the situation.
A visit round Abuja by Daily Sun reporter showed that the military and the police were not taking the matter lightly.
At the Police Force Headquarters, policemen mounted a roadblock, using two armoured vehicles to prevent motorists and other road users from driving through.
They however, created a diversion for motorists on one side of the lane, resulting in one-way driving.
At the federal secretariat, Daily Sun observed a handful of policemen positioned near the building, ostensibly to keep security.
The situation was not different at the barracks as long queues of vehicles belonging to personnel and visitors alike were thoroughly screened and searched before they were allowed to drive into the barracks.
Also, security sources hinted that an emergency meeting of all security personnel attached to the Presidential Villa, was summoned yesterday, at about 5pm to discuss the incident at the SSS headquarters.
Meanwhile, the SSS has confirmed that normalcy has returned to the area with the removal of all the road- blocks mounted to prevent possible assistance from external collaborators.
While the roadblock lasted, residents of the area were thoroughly searched.
