Koiki, who said the house was attacked around 1am, also alleged the identities of the attackers to be soldiers.

“I can confirm that those who came are definitely Nigerian soldiers. There are more than 100 soldiers that came,” Koiki said in a Facebook Live chat.

He added, “The situation is very active as more security operatives in about seven Nigerian Army patrol vans have arrived.”

However, the spokesman said, “He (Sunday Igboho) is currently safe.”

Some of the occupants of the house were said to have been whisked away by the invaders who were claimed to have dresses in military camouflage, Duos News gathered.
