Armed terrorists are currently attacking the Kuje correctional facility in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, sources say.
SaharaReporters reported that the gunmen invaded the facility around 10pm on Tuesday, July 5, but security operatives were able to repel the attack.
“Can you hear the gunshot, we are under serious attack,” one of the sources said.
The Kuje maximum prison was established in 1989. It also has a minimum holding cell where inmates are incarcerated.
The facility is famous for holding high-profile offenders, including former political office holders.
