Boko Haram takes over Kuje federal prisons; releases hardened criminals into Abuja

July 6, 2022
in Nigeria News

Boko Haram fighters have seized control of the prisons in Kuje, an Abuja suburb, freeing hardened criminals into the nation’s capital.

The insurgents stormed the facility at about 10:00 p.m., detonating explosives and opening live rounds on state agents guarding the facility, according to a senior government official.

“Suspected Boko Haram attackers have just seized the prisons from our control,” an official told Peoples Gazette. “They have destroyed the prison and we don’t know what they plan to do next.”

The official could not immediately elaborate on the unfolding chaos at the prison, which holds suspects ranging from disgraced police chief Abba Kyari to infamous terror masterminds.

“All major, biggest terrorists, armed robbers and kidnappers have escaped,” a top security source told The Gazette.

Residents in the areas have also confirmed hearing loud noises believed to be explosives and gunfire.

Soldiers and other security personnel around the facility reportedly fled when the attackers arrived in “over 1,000 motorcycles,” per our sources.

A spokesman for the Nigerian Correctional Service and the FCT police did not immediately return requests seeking details about the incident late Tuesday.

The attack comes as insecurity inundated President Muhammadu Buhari and his security chiefs. Earlier on Tuesday, the administration confirmed an attack on the president’s convoy in his home Katsina state.

Details shortly…
