A member of the House Representatives (APC Gombe), Abubakar Yunus, has alleged that the Kuje Prison attack and the recent release of another batch of the victims of train attack may be ‘trade by barter’.

Abubakar Yunus was speaking during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Tuesday.

Earlier Tuesday, terrorists released five more victims of the Kaduna train attack.

The terrorists had abducted a number of engers when they attacked a Kaduna-bound train on March 28, 2022.

However, on July 5, 2022, terrorists invaded Kuje Prison and freed over 800 suspects, including all the Boko Haram in detention.

When asked on whether there is a correlation between the recent release of some of the engers and the Kuje prison attack, he said, “As a legislator for so many years and I have been overseeing the defence mechanism, I will not say that the mechanism, the security architecture, is not actually in place. I will rather say it’s part of the tactical schematic programmmed way the government wants to use it.”

He added, “Why I say that? Prior to the Kuje prison attack, was Kuje prison ever attacked? Was it the first time they had put insurgents, Boko Haram there? Why? So all those response teams were there. I want to allude to the fact that earlier on, the government argued that they had the capacity to bombard these insurgents to free the captives, but they were afraid of collateral damage.

“To us, when the bandits or the insurgents are claiming the release of our captives; and probably I will allude to the school of thought, the hypothesis, maybe it is a trade by barter. So it was a deliberate non-intervention of the government.”

Waiting for lai..ing Mohammed, security agencies and Buhari's media aides to respond as usual.

It may be very true becos there is no evil this Tinubu gvt, sorry! Buhari gvt can not do

APC government is treading Nigerians lives with terrorists.

Nigerians knew this already. Buhari and APC should keep deceiving themselves.

Abokis deceiving the so called elites... Walahi e no go better for any Fulani man

lol . See fa

Every right thinking person know this already. How can soldiers be withdrawn from the prison 24 hours before the attack. Who gave the order? The attack was a calculated attack and the federal government know about it.

The best thing you can do to right the wrongs the damages your kinsmen has done is to go get your PVC and vote Obi/Datti '23

These freed terrorists have taken over most of the forests.

Terrorism is now a thriving and lucrative career path under Buhari.

God punish APC and their ers.

Possible

Truth is not far from this.

He might be right anyway

Only a fool will not know that. When a terrorist is your president and commander in chief that is what you will get.
