Kuje Prison Attack: We Suspect Foul Play – Senate Leadership
Category: Nigeria News
As reactions continue to trail the attack on Kuje Custodial
Centre by the fighters of Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP), the
Nigerian Senate Thursday voiced its condemnation.
Senate
President, Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan, who led the leadership of the ninth senate to
the Kuje Medium Security Custodial Centre, lashed at the management of the
centre for allowing such a national embarrassment to the nation.
The Senate after inspecting destruction of infrastructure by the
terrorists on Tuesday, expressed displeasure over non-resistance by the
security operatives, given the high profile criminals that were kept behind
the bar at the centre.
The non-functional Close Circuit Television ( CCTV) at the prison which
incapacitated management and security from preventing and responding
appropriately to the attack that led to escape of over 800 inmates was a
serious lamentation to the guests at the centre.
Deputy Senate
President, Ovie Omo-Agege on his part and other principal officers, described
the attack as very disappointing and a failure of the security system.
They wondered how 300 ISWAP operatives accessed the premises of
the correctional centre on foot, forced their way into the various cells and
released over 800 targeted inmates for over an hour without any counter
offensive from security personnel on ground .

“This is unacceptable and will not be condoned. For CCTV and other
relevant tracking gadgets not to be functional, are highly disturbing and
dangerous for the security of inmates and residents of the Federal Capital
Territory.
Senate leadership insisted that there was insider
conspiracy, having asses the level of destruction and the targeted inmates of
the terrorists.
“The way the operation was even carried out based
on inspection made by us, strongly indicates insiders’ connivance which must
be critically looked into,” said the Senate President.

ReplyDeletePlz investigate!!!!
ReplyDeleteI fear who no fear Abba Kyari
ReplyDeleteSame here, he might have become a bad guy, but he also tried as a super cop, his team actually arrested some of those terrorists, I believe the story about his attack, I don't know why people find it difficult to believe. Obviously this guys knew he was in the prison with them, even if their mission was not targeted at him, there would be whispers about him when those from the outside came, that the guy that brought us in here is in one of the cells
DeleteSorry, I didnt read u well, me I fear for his life
DeleteI don't think he is as innocent as people claim oo
DeleteI will never forget the story my late aunt told me about an incidence he was involved
This one na true life story. Never trust this guys
Nothing is as it seems in this country
One thing I know for sure is that he cant be the mastermind behind this high profile attack, where hi wan get that kind connection?
DeleteAbba Kyari? That guy is dangerous all I can say. I am not saying he had hands in the kuje attack oo but you can never tell
DeleteOk, I understand u, but Kuje prison attack is not a small criminal attack, that attack is way too far well coordinated, by the way, what would have been his gain? To escape? Can Abba Kyari escape anywhere? I feel what he needs to be acquitted, not escape
DeleteWell the level he got in the police he knows all the security details of this country. Whether he committed a crime he was accessed of and needs to be acquitted honestly I don't know but I have a story of him I don't forget
