It is not yet clear if there were any casualties.
According to several sources, the incident led to a gridlock on the highway.
An eyewitness told our correspondent that the attackers arrived at the spot some minutes after 7pm and opened fire immediately.
“They took control of the area for about 30 minutes and kept on shooting before heading towards Kaduna axis of the expressway,” the source said.
About 20 minutes after the terrorists left, soldiers from Zuma Barracks rushed to the scene and took full control.
A patrol team of policemen also arrived at the place.
The terrorists were said to gained entry to the area through the back of the rock to attack military operatives on duty.
The attack had caused heavy gridlock in the area.
Our correspondent gathered that some commuters who left Abuja city centre for Zuba area around 4:00 pm arrived at their homes at about 10:30 pm
The police and military authorities were not immediately available to respond to the incident.
This latest attack on a military installation comes days after bandits attacked a unit of the presidential brigade guards, killing at least three soldiers.
