Nearly 900 inmates escaped in a jailbreak in Abuja, Nigeria's capital city, officials said Wednesday, blaming the attack on Islamic extremist rebels.
At least 443 of the 879 escapees are still missing, Umar Abubakar, a spokesman for the Nigerian Correctional Service said, while hundreds of others have either been recaptured or turned themselves in at police stations.
The “very determined” rebels attacked the Kuje maximum prison in Abuja on Tuesday night with “very high-grade explosives,” killing one guard on duty.
Explosions and gunfire were heard at about 10 p.m. in the Kuje area when the attackers arrived and forced their way into the prison through a hole created by the blasts.
The Islamic extremist rebels who attacked the prison have waged an insurgency in the country’s northeast for over a decade.
Their attack on the detention facility freed many of their members who are inmates, prison officials said.
The Kuje maximum security prison had nearly 1,000 inmates including 64 suspects of the Boko Haram extremist group all of whom have escaped.

A fresh conviction was handed out in the George Floyd murder case which sparked widespread Black Lives Matter protests in USA.
On 7 July, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 21 years in prison for violating Floyd's civil rights. Chauvin had earlier been sentenced to 22 and a half years in jail for murder and manslaughter.
On May 25, 2020, Chauvin had killed African-American Floyd by pinning him to the ground for over 9 minutes even as the latter said that he was unable to breathe. During the July 7 hearing, Chauvin said that he wishes the best for George Floyd's children but did not issue a direct apology.
Chauvin had earlier signed a plea deal which allows the two jail sentences to run concurrently. He will also be transferred from a Minnesota state prison to a federal incarceration facility where he would be safer and under less-restrictive conditions, as per experts.

A sinister conspiracy to stage a mass breakout of terrorists and gangsters from jails - this intelligence alert has reportedly been received by Punjab authorities. The state is already reeling from a series of high-profile crimes, including the murder of Sidhu Moose Wala. The latest conspiracy is reportedly being hatched by gangsters and terrorists sitting in Pakistan.
The intel alert was sent to Punjab Police by the Union Home Ministry, as per an Indian Express report. Four prisons - Amritsar, Ludhiana, Bathinda, and Ferozepur - might be on the target list. The objective is to ensure the release of some prominent gangsters and Khalistani terrorists. Apart from career criminals, 'jihadi' elements might also be roped in to help, as per the report.
The mastermind behind the conspiracy is believed to be Harvinder Singh Rinda. He is a gangster-turned-terrorists believed to be in Pakistan currently. Rinda is considered close to Babbar Khalsa International chief Wadhawa Singh. He is believed to be under the protection of Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI.

Rinda is one of the main suspects in the attack on Punjab Police's Intelligence headquarters in Mohali. The building had been hit by a grenade on May 9. Rinda is also believed to have had a hand in the terror attack in Nawanshahr on November 8, 2021. Crime Investigation Agency's building had been targeted in the attack. Alleged associates of Rinda had been held in May 2022 in a weapon smuggling case.
Punjab has a dark history of jailbreaks. One of the most high-profile was the Nabha incident in November 2016. A dozen people broke into the prison and freed 6 alleged terrorists and gangsters. Two years later, a 50-year-old serving a 10-year sentence escaped from the same prison.
Then, in February 2020, three inmates escaped from Amritsar Central Jail by scaling the boundary wall. A month later, four prisoners used blankets as rope to climb out of the Ludhiana Central Jail. In May 2020, two murder and attempted murder convicts broke out of Sangrur Jail. In April 2021, three prisoners escaped from Patiala Central Jail during night curfew in the city.
Punjab has been in headlines for the past few weeks due to multiple law and order issues. On March 14, international kabaddi player Sandeep Singh Nangal Ambian killed in Jalandhar. On April 29, clashes occurred between Shiv Sena (Bal Thackeray), and alleged pro-Khalistan elements during an anti-Khalistan march. On May 9, the Punjab Police intel HQ in Mohali was hit with a rocket-propelled grenade. Less than 3 weeks later, Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead in Mansa.
On June 5, Punjab's jails minister Harjot Singh Bains paid a surprise visit to Ludhiana Central Jail. He said, "Punjab CM has vowed to reform Punjab jails which had become safehouses for gangsters till now. We have recovered around 1,000 mobile phones so far. This is a record seizure. We're making sure jammers which had been malfunctioning are working properly now. We're getting jammers installed where they were missing."

A gangster sitting in a jail plotted the murder of someone sitting almost 300 km away. This is what Punjab Police suspect in the Sidhu Moose Wala case.
This is not the first time that such a gangster sitting in prison has been accused of plotting or perpetrating a crime.
In June 2020, an associate of gangster Manjeet Mahal allegedly sent an audio file to businessman from Delhi's Tihar jail and demanded ₹1 crore. Just a month later, gangster Jitender Gogi allegedly threatened a businessman from inside Tihar prison, demanding ₹5 crore.

Then in March 2021, police said that a Tihar inmate called up an associate from inside the jail to smuggle mercury inside to poison 2 inmates. In March 2022, an associate of gangster Tillu Tajpuriya was killed as part of plot hatched in Tihar by slain gangster Jitender Gogi's aides, as per police.
To avoid detection, criminals keep changing their method of communication, like using voice and video call features of social media platforms, to sending voice recordings.
But how do jail inmates get access to phones? The mobile devices can be handed to inmates by acquaintances during jail meetings or court hearings. In some cases at Tihar, mobile phones were wrapped in cloth or socks and thrown over the boundary wall of the jail. The other way is to either bribe or coerce jail staff.
The hiding places are quite unique, and disturbing. In August 2019, a Tihar prisoner swallowed 4 mobile phones. Doctors made him vomit three out, but the fourth was had to be surgically removed from his rectum.
In August 2021, an NIA team probing the case of a bomb scare outside Mukesh Ambani's house seized two phones at Tihar from the alleged chief of Indian Mujahideen. In January 2022, an inmate swallowed a phone to hide it, and doctors had to fish it out using a snare.
With such instances occurring at regular intervals, most recently in the Moose Wala and Lawrence Bishnoi case, questions have been raised about the situation at high-security prisons like Tihar.
In April 2022, Delhi government reportedly told Supreme Court that mobile signal jammers and X-ray scanners were being installed at Tihar. Earlier, in November 2021, Tihar authorities had said that 3 mobile signal jammers had been installed at the premises.
It remains to be seen how effective such steps are.
