JUST IN: Terrorists attack Kuje Prison
A group of terrorists on Tuesday night attacked the Kuje Medium Custodial Centre in Abuja, the nation’s capital with bombs in an apparent move to gain entry into the facility and free some of its members.
The prison facility came under attack around 10:27 p.m. with bomb explosions and gun shots.
Investigation revealed that the suspected terrorists invaded the facility from the back of the premises.
The loud explosion and the gunshots threw the area into confusion and panic and residents scampered for safety.
It was gathered that the Nigerian Correctional Service NCoS had earlier received intelligence reports that one of its facilities could come under attacks.
