Abati: I thought I could rattle Tinubu during media chat — but he knows what he’s doing

By Bolaji Ogundele,

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday made a stopover at the Kuje Correctional Centre, Abuja, for an on-the-spot assessment of the damage done to the facility by invading terrorists the previous night.

Terrorists, believed to be Boko Haram elements, on Tuesday evening stormed the correctional facility, leaving one security personnel and six inmates dead.

They also freed about 600 inmates, many of whom were said to be detained Boko Haram inmates.

Buhari was on his way to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport where he would be airlifted to Dakar, Senegal, for the International Development Association (IDA) for Africa Summit.

There had been public outcry over the decision of the President to go ahead with the Dakar trip after the terrorist attack on the correctional centre and another one involving his advance team to Daura, around Dutsinma, Katsina State, also on Tuesday evening.
