BREAKING: Protest In Kuje Prison Over Death Of Inmate

There is palpable tension at the Kuje Correctional Centre as inmates in the early hours of Monday protested against the death of their colleague.

The protest was reportedly triggered following the death of the inmate, allegedly without medical attention.

Sources told SaharaReporters that some prisoners again tried to escape from the prison facility amidst the confusion but were prevented by warders.

“The guy has been sick for weeks now, but the situation deteriorated last night and the wardens refused to attend to him until he gave up the ghost around 6:28 am this morning,” a prison official told SaharaReporters.

Kuje prison in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city was attacked by Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters on July 5, 2022, following which hundreds of inmates were freed, including terrorists.
