A video posted on Thursday July 7, 2022, on Facebook by a prominent member of the outlawed separatist organization, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), with the caption “More clips of Terrorist attack on Kuje prison Abuja the Nigeria capital”, has garnered over 29,000 views – as of press time.

Newsbreak fact-checks this video. Is it really from the Kuje prison attack of Tuesday 5, June?

Background

Boko Haram terrorists stormed the Kuje custodial centre (prison) Tuesday night.
The terrorists, using high explosives and guns, breached the facility, leading to the escape of over 800 of the 994 inmates.

An officer of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) was killed during the attack while four inmates were also gunned down.

The spokesperson of the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), Umar Abubakar, on Wednesday, said over 400 of the escaped inmates have been recaptured while 443 are still at large.

Another 16 inmates who sustained various degrees of injuries are receiving treatment.

The 64 Boko-Haram members previously held in the facility were released by the invaders and are still at large.

The Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP) subsequently claimed responsibility for the attack.

Verifying clip

The video shared by the separatist clearly showed an attack which occurred during the day.

Multiple reports on credible news platforms said the terrorists attacked the Kuje Custodial Centre in Abuja at about 10pm on Tuesday.

According to a prison source who spoke to Vanguard, the attack “lasted for two hours and 45 minutes”.

Verdict

The video shared by the separatist is an attack that occurred during the day. The Kuje prison attack happened in the night.

Therefore, the claim by the poster is false and misleading.
