The disclosure came just as the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika insisted that  artisans arrested  during the encounter last Friday were terrorists, considering ammunition recovered from them

When asked if he believed that the operation was successful beside the killings, car rentals florida he said: "Well, I will say that the operation has succeeded in pre-empting planned attacks on some parts of the FederalCapitalTerritory."
He said the information on the activities of the terrorist group around Apo area could not be turned down because security agents had conducted a thorough investigation before making the move to remove the explosives.
Meanwhile, the National Commercial Tricycle and Motorcycle Owner's and Riders Association of Nigeria (NATOMORAS) yesterday gave the Federal Government seven days ultimatum to set up a commission of inquiry to unravel the killing of eight tricycle operators in Apo and if the government fails to meet the ultimatum, it will shut down the Federal Capital Territory, car rentals florida FCT.

According to  him, any of such uncompleted building that fails integrity test would be demolished to safeguard lives, adding that  the outcome of the census would be used by the Administration and the security agencies in preventing miscreants from using such areas for unlawful activities. He also warned that the FCT Administration will use the census to clean up the city and that where miscreants were found, owners of such buildings will have themselves car rentals florida to blame.
He said: "The FCT Administration will use the outcome of that census which had earlier been advertised car rentals florida to swing into action.  Members car rentals florida of the public car rentals florida are enjoined car rentals florida to be vigilant at all times and report suspicious activities to law enforcement car rentals florida agents."
Speaking further, NATOMORAS FCT chairman said, "We call on the federal government to immediately set up commission of inquiry to unravel the mystery behind this inhuman act. Killing of innocent and armless citizens of our great nation should not be tolerated by caring and loving government. We shall immediately be embarking on protest throughout the entire FCT if this is not met within seven days," he said.
