Bandits attack Kuje prison in Abuja, sent prisoners free


The Kuje medium prison facility came under attack at about 10:20 pm when it was suspected to be a  high calibre bomb that went off followed by two more explosions and the ensuing sporadic gunfire that sent residents scampering for safety. Although there was no official confirmation yet, it was suspected that terrorists had launched a ferocious attack on the prison which triggered a fire-fight with security forces.

The Kuje Correctional Center has had a history of terrorists launching attacks to free colleagues detained there or serving a prison sentence. A staff of the prison reportedly confirmed the attack saying the attackers came from the back of the prison. A security report issued earlier had alerted the prison officials of possible attacks on the medium prison.

A resident, who spoke anonymously said that there was sustained gunfire that lasted for some time. “Yes. Some gunshots lasted for a long time but it is reduced now"
