| PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI During His Visit to Kuje Prison, Abuja |
Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has visited the Kuje Prison in the capital city of Abuja following the attack on the prison Tuesday night.
However, there is no immediate word on what he did during his visit to the prison.
Authorities say 879 people escaped from the prison after being attacked by suspected Boko Haram militants.
A statement signed by the prison's spokesman, Abubakar Umar, said some inmates had returned voluntarily but 443 inmates were still being sought.
The defense minister said it was possible that 64 Boko Haram fighters had escaped.
The attack comes hours after gunmen in Katsina ambushed President Buhari's convoy en route to Daura.
