The Medium Custodial Centre in Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja is said to be under attack

Residents of the area have told AIT.live that loud bangs and heavy shelling have been ongoing for the past one hour.

One of the messages sent read, “Kuje Prison has been attacked”

The FCT police authorities are yet to confirm the attack, and calls to the spokesperson of the Nigerian Correctional Services, Francis Enobore were unanswered
