It has been uncovered that the gunmen who bombed the Kuje Medium Security Custodial Centre, Abuja on Tuesday night released 600 inmates, including 15 deadly Boko Haram commanders who masterminded the March 28 attack on the Kaduna-Abuja train at Katari, Kaduna, in which eight persons were killed and over 68 passengers kidnapped.
The Islamic State West Africa Province claimed responsibility for the attack in a 30-second video which showed the gunmen setting ablaze vehicles parked in the facility.
The gunmen were said to have operated for about two hours without any response from the security agencies.
