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.”

Seriously

Lobatan.

Boko Haram attacked Kuje prison in Abuja, released their members and there were no security operatives to repell them?

It seems fishy to me....and if Bandits are bold enough to attacked Buhari security details convoy what else do we expect than to agree that no one is safe in this country.

Instead of the government to rehabilitate them ..you put them in prison...how dare you...


How dare you?

Terrorists sympathizers


They freed them for Salah celebration.

If bandits and Boko Haram terrorists had infiltrated FCT for sometimes now as Intel by DSS had shown, why should all high-profile Boko Haram prisoners and captured bandits still be kept in Kuje Prisons instead of scattering them all over prisons and military detention centres all over the country?

How come DSS didn't pick up Intel on this attack given that FCT where the seat of government and DSS main office are should be well-covered?

There is more to this ...

Say buhari

Nonesense and Buhari. He knows he is about to go. He need to release all the people he has been using to deceive his zombies.

This is it. Whenever I see a Buhari supporter or an APC supporter especially down south, I begin to wonder how wicked the Devil is in destroying the good thing God created.

Worst of all is that even some educated people still support him. Shame of people. Just shame. Tuuueeeh

Buhari and this useless APC Government should held responsible for their incompetence.

Buhari and his Cronies are well known Terrorist Sympathizers and they must have a hand in this Jail Break.

In an ideal society where normal humans are the ones in leadership positions, this minister would have concluded his speech with a passionate apology and an announcement of resignation immediately, but then, this is Nigeria.

By the way, why is Nnamdi Kanu being detained in a Maximum Security Prison with the DSS while Boko Haram monsters are kept in a Minimum Security Prison at Kuje? This country ehn.

Few months to the 2023 Presidential election, the terrorists attacks across the country would intensify . The federal government would use that as a grounds for declaring marital law, enforcing a nationwide state of emergency thereby scuttling the election. The script is playing well.

We need to know what happened to the twelve Super Tucano fighter jets that were purchased with millions of dollars. The more we spend on defence budget, the stronger and more daring the terrorists becomes

Sack the minister of Interiors now

This is trash. What sort of nonsense is this.

In a sane country this man should have been sacked but because the powers that be favour BH nothing will happen to him.

We know it was planned sir.

All the vacancies for ballot box snatchers were filled in one night

Lol see Format

Damn!

Lol... Any idiot still willing to vote APC into power is an enemy of Nigeria.


Everything we condemned during GEJ administration is happening before our eyes. And we're all helpless atleast we could protest and complain in 2015.

Nothing seems to amaze me in this shithole country any longer, something that was staged, they should keep deceiving the gullible ones.

How did it get this bad?

Vh

Hm

Buhari is a terrorist, so the whole effort of fighting boko haram with billions of dollars has been thrown away in just one night...


Anyone supporting APC is an enemy of humanity...

E don happen, Egungun don cross express!

2 places that a society can not risk an escape from is, a prison and a psychiatric facility.

And there was a country, that things fall apart.

Haaaaaa


Funkeeeeeeee!


Kuje of all places.

a familiar script

They were released.

Ok sir
