‘Most residents of the area were asked to stay indoors by security personnel during the gun battle,’ one of the residents informed our reporter.

However, we gathered that the incident was an attempted jailbreak at the SSS office, but we could not confirm this before publishing this report. The incident was said to have lasted about one hour before it was brought under control.
