BREAKING NEWS: Gunmen Attack Kuje Prison In Abuja

There was pandemonium among residents of the Kuje prison area in Abuja on Tuesday evening after explosions and gunshots were heard from the direction of the correctional centre.

However, a spokesperson for the Nigerian Correctional Service, AD Umar, confirmed that gunmen had attacked the correctional centre but that normalcy had been restored after security agencies intervened.

"I wish to confirm that about 2200hrs, some yet to be identified gunmen attacked the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje in the Federal Capital Territory,” Umar said.

“However, men of the Armed Squad of the Nigerian Correctional Service and other security agencies attached to the Custodial centre have responded and calm has been restored to the facility and the situation is under control.

"Details will be made available soon.”

The attack comes few hours after the State Security Service (SSS) alerted the authorities of an impending attack on Kuje prison.

While stating that the attack was repelled, the official did not give specific details as to how many prisoners escaped and officers affected.
