 Riot breaks out at  Kuje Prison, Gunshots reported as Buhari intensifies efforts to assassinate Nnamdi Kanu 

The Muhammadu Buhari's government has intensified efforts to assassinate the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, currently detained illegally at the Kuje Prison, Abuja. A riot orchestrated to serve as a smokescreen for the operation broke out in Kuje Prison on Monday morning just as officials arrived at the facility for their routine duties. 

A top prison official, who cannot be named because he is not authorized to speak on the matter, told PREMIUM TIMES the crisis started at about 10.30am from one of the blocks and spread to other blocks within the facility.

He said a team of security operatives had been drafted to the facility to contain the uprising but could not tell whether any inmate had escaped.

Another source said inmates had been locked up while heavily armed security operatives fire tear gas towards inmates’ cells.

“There is heavy shooting now,” our source said. “The whole place is in confusion. All the inmates have been locked in their cells but the security operatives are shooting teargas into the cells,” the source said.

“We don’t know what happened but it seems there is serious trouble here. There are so many armed security operatives all over the place.”

The spokesperson of the Nigerian Prison Service, Francis Enobore, confirmed the incident when contacted by PREMIUM TIMES.

“We have received report of a problem in Kuje Prison but give me a little time to get the facts on it as some of our men are already on ground to handle the situation,” he said.

“We are monitoring what is happening. I will revert to you as soon we get more detail from our men on the ground.”

Some of the inmates complained that they were dying, as they spoke to Vanguard: “We do not know what they want to do with us, some people are on the ground now rolling and crying.” 

“There is no jail break, yet they woke up this morning to start shooting tear gas at us,” they added.

The Nigerian secret police the DSS has planted executioners in the prison primed to assassinate Nnamdi Kanu. IPOB Directorate of State has revealed various foiled attempt made to assassinate Knau, including targeting prison van taking him to court. Most of the plots have been suspended at the dying minute because of the fear of what millions of Biafrans loyal to Kanu would do. As a result, they have been plotting for a convenient way to kill him. It should be observed that the Kuje Prison has all of a sudden became a hotspot of jail breaks since Kanu has been remanded there. These are orchestrated attempts to create the atmosphere of confusion and prisoner unrest to prepare the ground for when their strike team would act.

Biafrans however, hasten to add that should anything untoward happen to Kanu, all hell will be let loose on Nigeria.
