The Deadly Terror Attack on Kuje Prisons on Tuesday would have claimed the life of embattled Police Chief, Abba Kyari.
The Terrorists after breaching the Medium Security Prison set out for Abba Kyari’s cell and made several attempts to kill him. POLITICS NIGERIA earlier reported that the terrorists succeeded in freeing hundreds of deadly inmates including all the Boko Haram Suspects incarcerated at the Facility.
Eyewitness reports reveal that the Terrorists on getting to Kyari’s cell fired several shots at the cell holding Kyari.
“When they gained access into the facility, the first set of people they set free were inmates from the Counter-Terrorism Unit (CTU) section (popularly called ‘Bombblast’ by inmates), and some of them pointed to direction of the cell where Abba Kyari was kept, popularly called ‘Segregation,” a source who pleaded anonymity for security reasons stated.
“When they had opened everywhere and inmates were still within the compound, close to kitchen side, one of the commanding terrorists ordered that nobody should move yet because some of his boys had gone to Abba Kyari’s side.”
“Some two minutes later, three of his boys emerged from the side of the prison yard housing the hospital, which is the same route to the Segregation and the church. Immediately he spotted them, he ordered everyone to move outside. He then led the line of inmates and his boys monitored every bend until the inmates got outside.”
“They meant to kill Abba Kyari but God saved him because the doors of the segregation are stronger than other doors. They shot at his doors but the iron bed at the Segregation, where he hid himself under, saved him.”
“Not just the iron bed, but the door itself, built by Red Cross. It was well-built”
Prison Officials confirmed on Wednesday that Kyari alongside other high profile detainees like Governor Jolly Nyame and Governor Joshua Dariye were all safe.
