The truth about Kuje Correctional Centre attack by terrorists on 5/7/2022, around 10 pm.
Only God saved us today. For over 2 hours and 45 minutes, more than 300 terrorists took over the Kuje prison in Abuja with GPMGs, bombs, RPGs, many Rifles etc, etc. It’s God that saved us. Over 1200 prisoners and over 150 terrorists escaped successfully.
The total population of the Kuje prison inmates is about 1,476, and only 111 of the inmates refused to escape and decided to remain in prison as 90 per cent of the inmates escaped.
Those that decided not to escape include former Governor Jolly Nyame of Taraba state, Farouk Lawal, Abba Kyari and 4 of his officers, retired AVM and 107 other inmates whose jail term is less than 3 months remaining, and some who are innocent of the allegations against them, with a few other good senior citizens.
All the remaining (over) 1,300 inmates have escaped together with the terrorists that came to rescue them. Only the 111 that refused to escape are remaining on the ground.
Any other press release that tells you there are more than 111 inmates in Kuje prison today is completely false. All persons that volunteered to remain behind were counted by 2 am today and the total is 111 persons.
Expect the usual false press releases this morning from the security agencies trying to defend themselves and mislead Nigerians and the president. Don’t believe any of the security agencies that will start misleading the public with false press releases that it was an ‘attempted jailbreak of Kuje prison, terrorists were repelled, prisoners were re-arrested’. All are false press releases, as usual, to mislead Nigerians and the president to show that these major security agencies are working when they don’t have any capacity as they couldn’t detect or prevent this type of massive attack and many others that happened in the recent past.
The National Assembly or the Presidency should send a strong delegation to come and count the people remaining in Kuje prison now which is less than 10 per cent as over 90 per cent of the prisoners have escaped.
The security architecture of Nigeria needs a major overhaul. How can over 300 terrorists plan a big operation like this and attack a prison facility inside Abuja federal capital territory and escape successfully with over 1,300 rescued prisoners without security agencies getting intelligence before the attack or even preventing the attack when it came?
This operation was executed by over 300 terrorists shouting ‘Allahu Akbar!’, and it lasted for 2hrs and 45 minutes successfully, and the reinforcement of men and equipment came more than 1 hour after the terrorists had gone successfully. That is about 4 hours after the operation was started.
Nigeria is in big trouble. There is no prison or no place that is safe again with such numbers of terrorists with heavy weapons attacking everywhere they want.
Terrible situation.
All armed officers, both prison officers and soldiers, escaped when the terrorists arrived and reinforcement came 4 hours later. That is over an hour after the terrorists have finished their operation and left with over 1,300 rescued terrorists and other criminals.
God save Nigeria.
The truth from Abubakar Musa, still In Kuje prison.
