Atiku expresses sadness over attack on Kuje prison

Former Vice President and Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar has express concern and sadness over the attack on Kuje prison.
Many Boko Haram inmates were said to have escaped from the facility during the 3-hour attack, which was suspected to have been carried out by their members.
In a post on his social media handles on Wednesday, Atiku said “I am concerned and saddened by reports of the attack on Kuje Prison by suspected terrorists.
“My concern arises not only from the prospects of the escape of detained terrorists and hardened criminals but of its implications for the security of lives and property to residents of Abuja and its environs.
“I wish to restate what I said to THISDAY Newspapers on Monday that our inability to enthrone a regime of law and order in which the arrest and prosecution of criminals will be made a priority as a deterrent to copycats is the reason why insecurity continues to fester in our country.”
