Stern
looking Soldiers, Policemen and agents of the Department of State
Security (SSS) Friday evening sealed the popular Amigo Supermarket in
the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
It was learnt that the fully kitted team of security personnel
stormed the ever-busy supermarket around 7pm and ordered both customers –
who were still shopping and staffers out of the expansive building
located on Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Wuse 2 Abuja.
The move is not unconnected with the discovery of a large cache of
arms and ammunitions in Kano by Nigerian security forces in which the
owner of the supermarket, Fauzi Fawad, who is now at large, was fingered
as a member of a Hezbollah cell in the state.
Fawad is also a part owner of the nation’s capital biggest and
popular fun spot, Wonderland Amusement Park situated near the Abuja city
gate. We could however not confirm whether the park was also sealed
last night.
Information Nigeria also gathered that all foreigners who were in the
supermarket, including Lebanese nationals, were whisked away by the
security agents in two 30-seater coaster buses.
Also, the military police and men of the Nigeria police mounted road
blocks at the both ends of the street from Ahmadu Bello way and Ibrahim
Babangida way while the operation lasted.
