Kuje Attack: Terr*rists Succeeded Because They Had Superior Firepower, Says Nigerian Government

The Federal Government has said the security personnel deployed to man Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) did their best to repel the terrorists’ attack but were subdued.

The Minister of Police Affairs, Mohammed Dingyadi, said this while fielding questions from State House reporters after a briefing on the outcome of the emergency National Security Council (NSC) meeting presided over by President Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The minister, who said the terrorists succeeded because of their large number and the superior firepower, stated that President Muhammadu Buhari had directed the service chiefs to not only ensure that adequate measures were taken after the ongoing probe into the cause of the incident but also to take steps to forestall the reoccurrence of such incidences.
