50 Inmates Escape As Gunmen Bomb Lokoja Prison

Some gunmen who were armed with dynamite have freed no fewer than 50 inmates in a raid on Koton Karfe Prison,Lokoja, in the central Nigerian state of Kogi, reports PM News.

 “They blew up the thing with dynamite,” national police spokesman Emmanuel Ojukwu said of the attack which took place late Sunday.

“Up to 50 inmates escaped,” Ojukwu added.

Though, there was nothing to indicate that this recent attack was carried out by the Boko Haram insurgents, the latest video of the insurgents released last Friday revealed Abubakar Shekau issuing a warning of more attacks on Nigerian targets, after recent bombing in Bauchi and Gombe.

“There is no any ceasefire or dialogue with anyone instead it is a war with beating and killings, and guns that we are hungry for like food with Maggi cubes. We are on course; our focus and determination is to see that only Quran is being use in running the world, with Allah this is what we put ahead of us.”, Shekau said.
