Why We Can’t Make Kuje Prison Attack Report Public – Minister

Category:  Nigeria News

Many months after a brutal onslaught on Kuje Prison by terrorists, the Federal Government has now completed investigation into the attack.

However, the Federal Government does not intend to make the report public due to the security nature of the report.

The Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, made the disclosure while giving a scorecard of the ministry at a media briefing in Abuja on Tuesday.

He however said some of the escapees from the facility had been recaptured while many others were still at large.

The attacks by the insurgents group led to the escape of over 600 inmates including members of the terror group.

Aregbesola, who was flanked by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed and the Permanent Secretary of his Ministry, Dr Shuaib Belgore, said the greatest legacy of the Buhari administration was the government’s ability to push Boko Haram insurgents out of all the local governments they hitherto occupied before the advent of the government.

The minister said, “In 2015 Boko Haram members were holding territories in local governments in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States, but today they have been dislodged. Yes, there are challenges here and there, but there is no nation without challenges”.
