About 25 mobile phones was seized from an ex Boko Haram member during the riot at Kuje Prisons on Monday, Punch reports.

“The incident happened this morning. The warders, who were acting on instructions from the prison authorities, decided to search the cells and seize prohibited items," a source said.

“During the search, they found 25 handsets with a Boko Haram suspect. After a search of the convicts’ cells, they moved to the awaiting-trial cells," the source added.

“But those men, who saw the warders approaching with some ‘already’ seized items, decided to resist them. They attacked the warders with stones and every object they could lay their hands on, and in the process, many of the warders were injured.”

It was gathered that after a search, some substances, suspected to be cannabis, were also uncovered in some cells and confiscated.
