Breaking: Kuje prison under heavy gun attack
The Kuje Correctional Center is said to be under heavy bombardment by unidentified gunmen.
Sources said “they are unleashing bombs. We don’t know who is carrying out the attack but we can hear heavy sounds bearing the hallmark of bombs.
“Everywhere is under lock and key.”
A source confirmed that the first explosion, which she said was likely a high capacity bomb, went off around 10.25pm.
She further confirmed that soon after the second and third blasts went off, sporadic gunshots followed.
It was gathered that there was a security report, which alerted the prison officials that the center which is a Medium Prison would be attacked.
Another source also said the attack was carried out from the back of the building and is still going on as of press time.
“The attack is still going on as we speak and the inmates are escaping. I can’t report any casualty but I can confirm some inmates are leaving because the back is now open and exposed.”
