President Buhari Says He Is Disappointed with Intelligence System Over Kuje Prisons Attack After Visit to Facility

President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed disappointment with the intelligence system at the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje, Abuja.

The President, who spent about 30 minutes when he visited the facility attacked by terrorists on Tuesday night, angrily said, how can terrorists organize, have weapons, attack a security installation and get away with it?”

Upon arrival, he was briefed about the attack by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Shuaib Belgore and the Controller General of Nigerian Correctional Service, Haliru Nababa.

The President who was accompanied by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, and the Chief of Staff to the President, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, said it is surprising that none of the 63 terrorists are accounted for, and at the end of the visit, he said he is expecting “a comprehensive report” on the incident.
