Bandits invade Lugbe community, few kilometers from Kuje

Gunmen suspected to be bandits have attacked Lugbe community in the Federal Capital Territory.

It was gathered that the bandits numbering about 30 robbed residents and vandalised properties in the process.

Lugbe is about 19 kilometers and 25 minutes drive from Kuje Correctional Facility, where hundreds of inmates escaped on Tuesday.

However, the robbery incident was said to have occurred a day before the attack on Kuje prison.

ISWAP, which claimed responsibility for the attack on the prison, released 64 Boko Haram members that were serving their sentence at the facility.

A viral video shows residents in Lugbe lamenting after being robbed by more than two dozen bandits. They robbed about 9 houses around behind AMAC market, Lugbe, Abuja.
