Following the unfortunate attack on the Nigeria Correctional Service Centre, Kuje on Tuesday night by suspected terrorists, President Muhammadu Buhari has summoned an emergency National Security Council meeting today.
The security meeting is being attended by Vice-President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, all security and service chiefs, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari and some cabinet Ministers.
Prime Business Africa gathered that the meeting would deliberate on country’s current security challenges especially the recent attack on Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje, by suspected terrorists.
The suspected terrorists numbering over 300, struck the prison facility with explosives which destroyed the structures leading to escape of many inmates who are Boko Haram insurgents.
The president had visited the Kuje Custodial Centre on Wednesday where he blamed the attack on poor intelligence system in the country.
Buhari had after inspecting some of the points impacted by the attack, posed series of questions on how such magnitude of attack could be allowed to happen in the Federal Capital Territory and expressed his disappointment with the intelligence system and utilization.
“I am disappointed with the intelligence system. How can terrorists organize, have weapons, attack a security installation and get away with it?” the president had said.
