Nigerians React As Terrorists Attack Kuje Prisons
Several reactions have trailed the attack on Kuje Medium Custodial Centre by terrorists in the Federal Capacity Territory (FCT).
Naija News earlier reported that a group of terrorists stormed the Medium Custodial Centre and bombed sections of the facility on Tuesday night.
According to Daily Sun, the heavily armed gunmen invaded the correctional centre around 10.30pm.
The gunmen who bombarded the facility and successfully operated for about one hour unhindered reportedly freed Boko Haram inmates at the correctional centre.
It was gathered that other inmates used the opportunity of the attack to escape from the Kuje Prison.
Following the attack, some netizens took to the micro-blogging platform Twitter to express their views on the sad incident.
See some of the reactions below.

People who can go to the extent of recruiting criminals from Kuje prison, do not only have dangerous plans for the future, but should be feared.
The plans they have for us are that of evil, not of good, to give us an unexpected end. 🙆🏾♂️— Umeh💡 (@UmehWrites) July 6, 2022
All entrance to Kuje has a military checkpoint
We are made to push our bikes each time we approach these checkpoints
How comes such massive artillery were moved into Kuje without being detected?
The terrorists have engaged the security guys for over an hour.

We thought insecurity was on a high during the time of GEJ until President Buhari assumed office, Bandits successfully attacked Kuje prison and presidential convoy all in one day and they go away with it, if this isn't incompetency and mediocrity then i dont know what else to say

While Boko Haram were attacking Kuje prison, Buhari’s advance team were being attacked in Katsina as well. Meanwhile, FCTA has ordered all parks in FCT to close by 7pm, & some street lights in the FCT turned off. My people, there is fire on the mountain. Chicken is home to roost?
