Following last night attack on Kuje Prison by terrorists, it was gathered that the whereabouts of some high profile inmates at the prison, including Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari are still unknown.
Sources said Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari and his men who were in the facility may have escaped from the facility.
Former Plateau Governor Joshua Dariye and his Taraba counterpart Jolly Nyame who had been granted pardon by the National Council of States were also in the facility.
Sources within the facility confided that besides the high profile inmates, some terrorists and other criminals might have escaped in the thickness of the darkness and the gunfire from the attackers.

However, as of the time of filing this report, there was no official confirmation on the number of escapees and their profiles.
A source told our Correspondent it would be difficult to confirm if Kyari and his men were evacuated for safety before the attackers gained entrance into the facility. He also said the same applied to the former Governors.
The attacks, which caught the guards at facility unawares, threw the entire area into confusion. It was learnt the first explosion, a high capacity bomb, went off around 10.25 pm.
It could not be ascertained if steps were taken to prevent the attacks as of the time of filing this report.
