Heavily armed gunmen Tuesday night attacked Kuje Medium Prison in Abuja freeing more than 90 per cent of the inmates.

Sources revealed that the gunmen invaded the correctional centre around 10.30pm, with heavy bombardments and successfully operated for about one hour unhindered.

It was gathered that the invading gunmen, who came with trucks, went away with Boko Haram inmates at the Correctional centre. After the operation, other inmates, apart from Boko Haram members taken away by the gunmen, also escape.

Sources revealed that after the attack not more than 30 out of the over 1, 000 inmates were found at the correctional centre.
A prison staff, who confirmed the attack in a chat with Daily Sun, said some of the attackers came from the back of the prison yard, while others arrived with trucks used to evacuate the targeted inmates.

Terrorist Attack: Many Inmates Escape From Kuje Prison In Abuja, Others Including Disgraced 'Supercop', Abba Kyari Taken Out Of 'Ruined' Facility


Most of the 700 inmates at the Kuje correctional facility in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory have escaped, SaharaReporters has learnt.

SaharaReporters also learnt that other inmates have been removed from the facility including the suspended deputy commissioner of police, Abba Kyari, who was remanded at the prison by a Federal High Court.

Kyari is standing trial for allegedly dealing in cocaine alongside four members of his former police unit, the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Unit (IRT), and two other persons arrested at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu, Enugu State, in January this year.

Gunmen suspected to be terrorists on Tuesday night attacked the prison facility in Nigeria's capital city, and SaharaReporters learnt that the facility was ruined by the heavy firepower brought by the assailants.

Multiple sources told SaharaReporters that the gunmen invaded the facility around 10 pm.

Details about the casualties suffered in the attack were still sketchy at the time of filing this report, but one of SaharaReporters' inside sources said many inmates were able to escape.

"The place was completely ruined and all the inmates have left the facility for now, including Abba Kyari," one of SaharaReporters' inside sources said.

"Most of the inmates have escaped from the facility; it is sad. It houses over 700 inmates," another source said.

Earlier, while the attack was going on, one of our sources had said, “Can you hear the gunshot, we are under serious attack."

Kuje prison was established in 1989, it has minimum and maximum holding cells where inmates are incarcerated.

It is famous for holding high-profile offenders, including former governors and ministers.

This is not funny anymore. Nigeria is gradually going the way of Afghanistan and Yemen under this failed government.

It's enough to impeach the sleeping President out of power

Pandora Peter Obituary is about to go down with security challenges, he want presidency, hope he will be able to manage the challenges that will come with it, because propaganda, lies of "only one wrist watch for 104years", "my 54 year old boy has no car" (whereas his 9year old girl has multi-billion naira investment in tax Haven), "I returned 100 hectares of land" etc will not save him

Now we are back to square one. angry
It's useless arresting these members by the Nigerian army and handing them over to the police. Our soldiers just died for nothing arresting these terrorists. They should have done the needful rather than arresting them. More embrassing is that the remainders of those that have not escaped will still be given amnesty and exchanged for ransom.


Aregbesola is so useless. More than 15 jail breaks have happened under him since 2020. Despite the fact that it was reported that more than 5200 inmates escaped in 2021 alone he has not yet given a solution. And yet he still remains a minister of interior affairs. undecided

In the land of the zoo, there was a man who saw tomorrow. . . That man was Obadia Malaifa and he prophesied of an impending war that was going to be unleashed on the country this year especially down south.

It seems like his vision is taking shape gradually, May heaven help those who are ready to help themselves

President attacked and top prison in the Federal capital attacked in 1 week.

If Buhari had a modicum of decency and instinct of self-preservation, he would have fired all service chiefs by this morning, starting from the DSS.

Hmmm, security wise, I doubt it has ever being this bad. No where is safe within the country. Only betrayed the inferiority trailing appointments overtime. Capacity sacrificed on the alter of tribalism and nepotism. As a country, we are old enough to know some sectors can only accommodate the best hands. And that is non-negotiable. But we keep doing things same way expecting different results. OMG!
