It was tears, sorrow and blood  as over 300 terrorists bombed  Kuje prisons on Tuesday night.

The  terrorists were said to have attacked the correctional facilities with RPGs,  GPMCs releasing about 1,365 prisoners leaving only 111 after roll call by 2am.

Sources said all the  attack which lasted about three hours  saw 150  boko haram terrorists in the prison  released.

One of the residents in the area  John Patrick  said the attack started at about 9.30 in the night as the attackers bombed the facilities from the back killing many people especially prison warders.

Patrick said the attackers were not interested in kidnapping anybody as they only came to free their members who were in the cell.

He said when they came out on Wednesday morning blood were seen littered the grounds.

He said  most residents around the prisons saw the terrorists walking leisurely after the attack towards Gwagwalada area before moving off. They probably moved towards Niger state.
