As Shopping Complex Re-opens For Business

The military has pulled out from the Banex shopping complex in the Wuse 2 area of Abuja.

THE WHISTLER gathered on Monday that the military, having shut down the two-building complexes, withdrew about 30 minutes ago.

A shop owner who pleaded anonymity disclosed an ongoing meeting between the management of the Banex shopping complex and shop owners.

“The military men left about 30 minutes ago, and the management is currently meeting with the shop owners inside one of the compounds,” the source said.

When asked about the details of the meeting, the shop owner said, “They (management) are discussing the modality of functioning, but at the moment, we are hopeful that the place will reopen soon. I am only waiting till the end of the meeting for more details.”

Also, a source at the defence Headquarters told THE WHISTLER, “We are withdrawing. Issues are being settled.”

When asked if there’s hope for the complex to open for business, he said, “Yes, that’s why we are withdrawing. As I said, the issues are being ironed out.”

Probed further on when specifically the plaza will re-open for business, he responded, “Today.”

They lay siege to a civilian settlement but become chickens when faced with armed criminals/gunmen.

By the way, where is the lady they KIDNAPPED?

Only in Nigeria and even in a capital city will the military lay siege on a facility

All thanks to his Excellency Peter Obi.

I don’t think those soldiers revived enough beating …

Useless chicken hearted untrained soldiers…

If Bandit's show now them go hide

Nansense and ingredients

Cowards

Failed state

a country whose capital is being ravaged by kidnappers and terrosrist, yet the army lay siege to a shopping mall, and with pride for that matter, if you dont see how cursed nigeria is, you have been jinxed

Okay.

9 days of losses incurred by the traders.

I see lots of people here ing the guys that were hitting the soldiers, its just unfortunate.

Reporting the soldiers to the appropriate quarters is a better option

Two wrongs cannot make a right

Good

Lolz

As Peter Obi talk, everything just went into overdrive to reopen the place .Na leader you be ,no be that guy wey graduate in 1970 from secondary school wey dem establish in 1974.I no call anybody name oo

All thanks to his Excellency Peter Obi.

yes o Peter Obi is like president now and tinubu INEC chairman …nobody bothers anymore to read or watch any news from tinubu but if they mention Obi name readership or viewership of the outlet will rocket from 0 to almost 100%

At last them don taya

Just like politicians, the military have immunity from the constitution.

The index that s these lawless individuals together is corruption. It's a scratch my back I scratch yours cycle.
The military are sent on errands when the politicians feel their existence is threatened and the politicians in return look the other way when the military take laws into their hands and commit genocide or human rights abuses.
To hell with the law. It's not worth the judge's wig

Power!..if bandits show Dem go hide

BUNCH OF LOSERS

Our army have decended so low,
Imagine army dey 4k
Any small thing,army for matter wey police go fit handle lockup

How dem no go beat soldier when soldier dey chop for mama put without paying for his accumulated bills. Nigerias military has been rubbished by corruption and indiscipline

USELESS IDIOTS, ALWAYS FORMING FOR ARMLESS CIVILIANS.

They for just set up camp naw.

I hope many of you have never fallen victim to the gadget sellers in Bannex. There are numerous criminals operating in that area, similar to how they do in Computer Village in Lagos.

Lazy soldiers

Who assaulted who? Nobody knows! Yet soldiers were busy holding siege to a shopping complex with the seat of power as if that is their primary point of responsibility. So sad! Hope Reno Omokri is pleased now?

These boys scout will be weary of civilians next time

Soldier chop beatings till one attempted running. Head boot, slaps, blows, upper cut 😳. Aboniki and Loko go surplus 💯
