EKO HOT BOG reports that the whereabouts of some high-profile inmates at the Kuje Correctional Centre, Abuja is currently unknown after Suspected Terrorists attacked the facility on Tuesday.
Gunmen suspected to be terrorists had on Tuesday night attacked the prison facility in Nigeria’s capital city.
It was gathered that the facility was ruined by the heavy firepower brought by the assailants.
The attacks, which lasted for hours, were said to have been resisted by military personnel and prison guards on duty.
Multiple sources told newsmen that the gunmen invaded the facility around 10 pm.
Sources said Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari and his men who were in the facility may have escaped from the facility.
Former Plateau Governor Joshua Dariye and his Taraba counterpart Jolly Nyame who had been granted a pardon by the National Council of States were also in the facility.
The Federal Government was yet to effect their release as of the time of the attacks.
Sources within the facility confided in The Nation that besides the high-profile inmates, some terrorists and other criminals might have escaped in the thickness of the darkness and the gunfire from the attackers.
However, as of the time of filing this report, there was no official confirmation on the number of escapees and their profiles.
