The Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) has claimed responsibility for the attack on Kuje Prison in Abuja.

Recall how terrorists broke into the prison, on Tuesday night, and released over 800 inmates, including high-profile suspects.
In a footage on Wednesday night, the terrorist sect showed some of its men shooting their way into the facility.
Tens of fighters were seen marching in groups while vehicles and building were on fire in the 38 seconds video.
An elderly man dressed in a native attire also joined the young men who were shouting on top of their voices.
The Islamic State’s A’maq Agency released the video with the caption: “Fighters of Islamic State attacked Kuje prison in Abuja yesterday and succeeded in freeing dozens of prisoners.”
The Islamic State's A'maq Agency also published a video of the attack. If anyone was still in denial about ISWAP's responsibility, here is some more proof. pic.twitter.com/xYOFDV8a9e
