24hrs before attack, soldiers guarding Kuje Prison were removed

Security Sources on Wednesday revealed that soldiers deployed to Kuje vicinity and the Correctional Center’s enviroment, who had mastered the terrain and acclamitised, were moved out and redeployed 24 hours before terrorists attacked Kuje Prison.

The source pondered as to why it is 24 hours after troop’s who had come to understand the vicinity were withdrawn and new ones who were yet to settle in arrived that the attackers struck.

However, Lbroadcast learnt that the period the soldiers were supposed to stay in that deployment had elapsed and they were due for rotation.

Meanwhile, security sources confirmed that the terrorists were able to beat checkpoints mounted by security agencies through the use of motorcycles.

One source said that when the terrorists wanted to commence the operation, they opened volleys of bullets sporadically which made many residents take to their heels , therefore clearing the way for the attack to carry on.
