The Minister of Defence, Bashir Magashi, has said none of the Boko Haram suspects detained at Kuje prison in Abuja was found after the attack on the facilities on Tuesday night.

Sources had told Daily Trust that high-profile Boko Haram suspects and bandits escaped during the invasion of the prison on Tuesday night.

Addressing journalists after taking an assessment tour of the facility, the minister said, “The attack started around 10:30pm. They came in their numbers gained entrance into the prison and they released some of the inmates and which we are now following to see the kind of inmates that they have released.

“Very soon, we will give you the correct figure of the inmates that were taken. Aside that, we are trying to see what we can do to ensure that all escapees are returned back.

“The prison is accommodating about 994 inmates and over 600 escaped. Many people have been recaptured and brought back to the prison. Maybe by the close of the day, more will have been captured and returned.

“I think everything is under control. The people who came to do this activity, from the records, we believe they belong to a particular group. Most likely, they are Boko Haram members because we have sizeable number of Boko Haram suspects in detention, and presently we cannot locate any of them.

“I think they are about 64 in the prison and none of them now is available they have all escaped.”

Fake news

Shame on this government

And some airheads still want APC to continue.


Nigeria is at the verge of total collapse, and some people are still stuck with primitive sentiments. Supporting obviously incompetent people because they're of the same religion/region as you. Lol.


Make una continue!

I think the Senate and House of Representatives should commence impeachment proceedings on president Buhari
Buhari has failed wotoporiously

The National Assembly should be courageous enough at least for once to do this or we all perish

Nothing much,just Buhari releasing his brothers.


It is a family affair.

una see APC government. Expect terrorist attacks to intensify and the government gives security as a reason to move the elections.

Anybody voting APC at the presidential like level is very evil and the blood of innocent Nigerians will be upon such person

#EndApc Now

This looks to be a delebrate prearranged move for a strategic hit right from the ogas at the top. Nigerians should be on the lookout. Are we really sure there will be a handover?

And Buhari is not still aware of this.

Expect more attacks coming days.

My fear is about endangered species ( our priests) may God continue to protect them.

Abi the govt terrorist foot soldiers frees their incarcerated colleagues? Instead of this equally shameless incompetent so called minister of insecurity to have tender his resignation letter and submit himself for investigation here he is issuing useless press release.

It's an arrangement between you people. You guys are only fooling yourselves. We know what is going on.

Amaechi is a realist

He is relying on begging to pacify the same people he admits are angry with his party
