    Buhari Visits Kuje After Attack, Queries Failure Of Intelligence And Responses

    President Muhammadu Buhari is not happy with the attack on Kuje Correctional Service and he has told his men his mind.

    A statement signed by his Spokesperson Garba Shehu disclosed this on Wednesday.

    According to Shehu, the President was briefed about the attack by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Dr. Shuaib Mohammad Lamido Belgore and the Controller General of Nigerian Correctional Service, Haliru Nababa.

    He was showed the bombed-out section used to access first, and the records office which was set on fire, adding that the invaders thereafter launched an attack on all cells in which Boko Haram terrorists were held.

    However, the President Buhari was shocked by both the scale and audacity of the attack.

    “How did the defences at the prison fail to prevent the attack? How many inmates were in the facility? How many of them can you account for? How many personnel did you have on duty? How many of them were armed? Were there guards on the watchtower? What did they do? Does the CCTV work?” Buhari queried.

    The President was also informed that the security forces have recaptured 350 of the escapees while about 450 others are still unaccounted for, and that rapid work is under way to recapture the rest.

    After inspecting some of the points, President Buhari spoke to newsmen, expressing disappointment with the intelligence system (and utilization).

    “I am disappointed with the intelligence system. How can terrorists organise, have weapons, attack a security installation and get away with it?” he added.

    The President said that he is expecting “a comprehensive report” on the incident.
