The bridge and its components were vandalised and some of the components removed (sidewalk/walkway slab, steel parapet, kerb stone for retaining the ballast etc).
Abuja based Analysts say it seems like the terrorist boko haram cadres drawn largely from the majority Kanuri tribe in the north east and the Fulani ethnic herdsmen militia from the north west are pushing for a crippling of the Nigerian state ahead of scheduled 2023 general elections.
Nigeria’s security forces headed by mostly Northern Muslims seem overwhelmed and finding itself unable to secure the country with President Buhari saying he is “disappointed” at the ineptitude of the intelligence department. Meanwhile, non of the security chiefs who are mainly northerners have been fired.
Saddened by the attack on the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje. I am disappointed with the intelligence system. How can terrorists organize, have weapons, attack a security installation and get away with it? I am expecting a comprehensive report on this shocking incident.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been accused of nepotism by favouring his Fulani ethnic group as well as northern Muslims with high profile appointments even in the strategic defence department where competence ought to take precedence over primordial considerations.
The Government spent over N4 trillion naira on defence in Seven years;including a Billion Dollar for Tucano jets and another close to a Billion Dollar on attack helicopters;And we are still living at the mercy of a roving gang of terrorists on motorcycles.

Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr.
Peter Obi has likened the Nigerian state to where an automobile driver is engaged to fly an aeroplane. That is the sad state of the nation.
Nigerians keep wondering about the largely ineffectiveness of the country’s security forces despite the huge funds that they have gulped in the past seven years of Buhari’s leadership.
Almost every terrorist operation in this country last for at least an hour unchallenged,as if there’s a standard time allocated for them to unleash their evil and disappear.

Former Senator Shehu SANI tweets, calling for decisive leadership:
THE Attacks on military formations,Police Stations,Prisons,Election commission offices are attacks on symbols,institutions and pillars of the state.They are not soft targets.The nation is at war with multiples of organised guerrilla terror groups aiming at power.WE NEED A LEADER!

Meanwhile, fear pervades the fiber of every Nigerian citizen and those in the northern axis from Abuja to other extreme ends live in constant dread while politicians like the NNPP Presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso still wants northerners to continue ruling Nigeria by denying the obvious reality of the challenges in their region.
