Many Inmates Escape From Kuje Prison In Abuja, As Disgraced 'Supercop', Abba Kyari Evacuated Out Of 'Ruined' Facility
Other detainees have also been evacuated from the jail, according to SaharaReporters, including the suspended deputy commissioner of police, Abba Kyari, who was remanded to the prison by a Federal High Court.
Kyari is standing trial for allegedly dealing in cocaine alongside four members of his former police unit, the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Unit (IRT), and two other persons arrested at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu, Enugu State, in January this year.
On Tuesday night, gunmen suspected of being terrorists stormed a jail facility in Nigeria's capital city, and SaharaReporters learned that the building was destroyed by the invaders' strong armament.
According to many sources, the gunmen stormed the building around 10 p.m.
Details concerning the casualties were still vague at the time of reporting this post, however one of SaharaReporters' inside sources stated numerous detainees escaped.
"The place was completely ruined and all the inmates have left the facility for now, including Abba Kyari," one of SaharaReporters' inside sources said.
"Most of the inmates have escaped from the facility; it is sad. It houses over 700 inmates," another source said.
Earlier, while the attack was going on, one of our sources had said, “Can you hear the gunshot, we are under serious attack."
Kuje prison was established in 1989, it has minimum and maximum holding cells where inmates are incarcerated.
It is famous for holding high-profile offenders, including former governors and ministers.
