Gunmen have attacked THISDAY newspaper office at Utako district in the federal capital territory (FCT) in the early hours of Thursday.
The gunmen who were said to be in the premises of the newspaper’s office for about 45 minutes, reportedly told the staff that they would be back again “in the days ahead”.
However, the intruders were said to have subjected the security guards and production staff to “inhumane treatments”, threatening to kill them if they made any attempt to alert the police.
The management of THISDAY said it has since reported the incident to the police division in Utako district.
