JUST IN: Boko Haram takes over Kuje federal prisons; releases hardened criminals into Abuja
The facility holds high-profile suspects ranging from disgraced police chief Abba Kyari to infamous terror masterminds.

Boko Haram fighters have seized control of the prisons in Kuje, an Abuja suburb, freeing hardened criminals into the nation’s capital.

The insurgents stormed the facility at about 10:00 p.m., detonating explosives and opening live rounds on state agents guarding the facility, according to a senior government official.

“Suspected Boko Haram attackers have just seized the prisons from our control,” an official said to Peoples Gazette. “They have destroyed the prison and we don’t know what they plan to do next.”

The official could not immediately elaborate on the unfolding chaos at the prison, which holds suspects ranging from disgraced police chief Abba Kyari to infamous terror masterminds.

“All major, biggest terrorists, armed robbers and kidnappers have escaped,” a top security source told The Gazette.

Residents in the areas have also confirmed hearing loud noises believed to be explosives and gunfire.

Soldiers and other security personnel around the facility reportedly fled when the attackers arrived in “over 1,000 motorcycles,” per our sources.

A spokesman for the Nigerian Correctional Service and the FCT police did not immediately return requests seeking details about the incident late Tuesday.

Details shortly…

I’ll take back Nigeria from 16 years of PDP’s mystery, poverty: Tinubu

Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, has said he will take back Nigeria from the Peoples Democratic Party.

Mr Tinubu, during his acceptance remarks at Eagle Square on Wednesday, said the PDP caused mystery and poverty when it was in power.


Mr Tinubu’s party has been in power since 2015 when Muhammadu Buhari won election. He was reelected in 2019 and will complete his second four-year term in May 2023.

Although the PDP had powers for 16 years from 1999 to 2015, Nigerians have said the current poverty and deprivation currently ravaging the country should be blamed on the APC.

“The cat that lied down quietly is not a pretence of death but the breathing of energy to devour its enemy,” We will run. We will do it. We will take the poverty development party, called the PDP, 16 years of mystery, 16 years of failure, 16 years of forgetting about our children’s future,” Mr Tinubu said. “We will bring back our country and build the best nation for our children.”


Mr Buhari spent his early years in government blaming the PDP, which caused repeatedly a war of words between the opposition party and pro-government spokespeople.

Mr Tinubu’s comment indicated that he would be running against the opposition rather than his party’s record.
