Aliyu U. Tilde SSS Jail Break: Abu Kaka, 200 Other Boko Haram Inmates Escaped SSS Detention 247ureports Tuesday, April 01, 2014 Information reaching 247ureports from competent and reliable sources near the activities of the State Security Services [SSS] reveal that the image maker of the SSS may have not been completely truthful with the public when she appeared at the Channels Television News Program on the morning of Monday March 31, 2014 over the shootings at the SSS headquarters on Sunday early morning According to the available information, the incident that occurred at the SSS headquarters on Sunday March 31, 2014 resulted in the escape of over 200 Boko Haram detainees being held at the SSS headquarters. Among the detainees that escaped was the notorious high ranking member of the Jihadist group, Abu Kaka. Abu Kaka was reported to have been arrested by the joint task force [JTF] over a year ago following a tip off by informants. He is said to be the number 3 man in the Boko Haram terrorist organization – at the time of his arrest. He was in charge of Boko Haram’s media communications. He was considered a priced catch by the Nigerian security operatives. Sunday’s incident at the SSS headquarters between the operatives of SSS and the Boko Haram detainees is said to be the result of long term planing by the detainees. According to our source, the Boko Haram detainees had gotten knowledge of a existing underground tunnel at the SSS headquarters. It is not certain how they got knowledge of the tunnel but our source indicated that the detainees would have not gotten the knowledge of the underground tunnel without the aide of an SSS operative or the aide of another high ranking insider of the security system in Nigeria. Through the underground tunnel, the Boko Haram detainees found their escape route. According to how source, over 300 detainees were being held at the SSS facility when the Sunday morning incident occurred. At the end of the said incident, our source states that the SSS was only able to account for the whereabouts of less than 50 Boko Haram detainees – out of the over 300 detainees that were held at facility. Our source pointed to the hovering aircraft above the SSS headquarters and the Central Business District Area of Abuja – on Sunday morning – as SSS’s effort to search or hunt for the escaping Boko Haram prisoners. The source who claims to have firsthand knowledge of the SSS operations challenged the SSS and its image maker to make available Abu Kaka for the public to see – either through an interview on public television or through a press conference. The source indicated that there was jubilation at the Kuje prison in Abuja among Boko Haram members held at the facility. He stated that the Boko Haram members imprisoned at Kuje were jubilating over the successful escape of one of their leaders from SSS detention. He added that the SSS is presently working tirelessly to quietly re-capture the escaped inmates. Stay tuned. --------- My comment: How true is this story? I really dont like how posts are made online with names that are anonymous. Ordinarily, I wouldnt have posted this but on a second thought I believe the SSS must know who the 247ureports publishers are. If it doesnt by this time, then it is too bad. The most pertinent question I heard security experts ask on this matter is why woukd the SSS keep so many suspects in its office for such a long time that will enable the latter understand the architectural design of the complex and the operational procedures of the organization? Why not transfer them to prison where facilities are available for handling such category of suspects, they ask? When has Aso Drive, which is just next fence to Aso villa, become a new Kiri-Kiri or Guantanamo? Doesnt the SSS have faith also in our prisons? Have the Nigerian state become so incompetent that it cant even keep detainees in accordance with its laws and the international conventions it signed? Now, we hear all sorts of entertaining stories about how the President and his guards were frightened that morning. There is nothing more stupid than keeping such suspects so close to the President. Can you imagine Guantanamo separated from the fence of White House by just 20 meters or so? Totally ludicrous! We sometimes think that we can circumvent the law, forgetting that it was drafted after careful consideration to not only existing, but also the most remotely foreseable, eventualities. Let the SSS produce Abu Qaqa. Period.
