Nigeria- Gunmen on Saturday attacked the Medium Prisons in Tunga, Niger State, killing one and freeing no fewer than 270 inmates. DailyPost reports.

A prison officer, who would not want his name in print, told the Eagle that the attackers were clad in police bullet proof uniforms and snatched two cars, which they used in conveying their gang members.

“They succeeded in freeing over 270 inmates. I saw them and I do not know where other young men with guns numbering about 10 joined them.”

It was learnt that the three-man gang arrived the Minna Medium Prisons at exactly 4:30pm and shot sporadically in a bid to scare away residents on David Mark Road in Tunga.

They also shot a man who tried to raise the alarm and to stop them while they were escaping in Karfin Tella community in Tunga area.

The prison’s spokesman, Rabiu Shuaibu Muhammed, corroborated the story but could not ascertain the number of prisoners that escaped and the exact number that sustained injuries.
