The terrorist attack of the correctional facility in the Kuje neighborhood of Abuja prompted a response from the Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, on Thursday.
According to IPOB, the incident was a terrorist conspiracy to kill IPOB members who were housed in the facility.
On Tuesday, gunmen carrying explosives who were thought to be Boko Haram members broke into the Kuje prison.
All of the terrorists who were detained within the facility had been freed.

In response to the assault, IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, issued a warning that nothing should happen to the group’s prisoners at the facility.
Powerful warned that IPOB would not take it easy with the Nigerian Government if anything happens to members of the group incarcerated in the Kuje facility.
A statement by Powerful reads partly: “We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to draw the world’s attention to the Nigeria Government and its security agencies, especially the Army and DSS agents’ instruction to the bandits rampaging the North to attack the Kuje correctional centre in Abuja.
“The Nigeria security agencies, especially the military and DSS agents in a covert action detailing a systematic strategy to eliminate IPOB members detained in Kuje prison and yesterday’s attack has confirmed our earlier intel.

“We want to let the world know that IPOB members were profiled and detained in Kuje prison yards for simply being persons indigenous to Biafra and of Igbo race.
“We have their details and want them alive because if anything untoward happens to our comrades who are detained in Kuje, IPOB will never take it easy with Nigeria Government and her security agencies.
“It is high time to release these innocent folks who were detained illegally and unjustly, Nigeria cannot continue to detain them indefinitely while allowing terrorists and bandits to come and slaughter them under disguised arrangements by the Buhari-Fulani administration.”
