A resident of Trademore Estate in Lugbe, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has debunked claims of American soldiers carrying out a raid in the residential area.

Speaking to Daily Trust, the resident said only a foreigner was identified among the operatives who carried out the operation.

The man, who craved anonymity said two suspects were arrested some meters away from Living Faith Church on the estate.

Another resident said the security operatives were close to 30. He said;

“Some of them were fully masked; all of them were plain cloth operatives; only one of them is a white guy, this could have given the impression that he is a US soldier.

“When the security men came here, they didn’t easily identify their targets. They kept moving to different houses harassing people. They didn’t allow anyone to get close to them through out the operation. It was later that they got hold of the suspects and they picked them up and left.”
