Kuje Prison Break: Heads to Roll over Indicting Report – Aregbesola
By Ozumi Abdul
The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has declared that the report received by President Muhammadu Buhari on the recent prison break in Kuje Correctional Centre indicted some key government officials.
The minister told journalists after Thursday’s meeting of the National Security Council in Abuja that all those whose actions or inactions led to that unfortunate incident will be punished.

“A preliminary report on what happened in Kuje has been sent to the President but a more detailed comprehensive report will come at the end of the investigation,” he told journalists.
“We have identified all those whose action or inaction led to that unfortunate incident and those who have been found wanting in their responsibilities will have to face the consequences of their action,” he assured.
He said sufficient efforts were made by intelligence agencies to forestall the attack on the prison but there was a problem with the will to carry out instructions by security operatives.
Over 800 prison inmates escaped during the attack with about half of them still at large. Those still at large include over 60 Boko Haram suspects.
The attack was allegedly carried out by ISWAP, a breakaway faction of Boko Haram, which later released a video of the incident.
