DSS Files Terrorism Charges Against Ansaru Leaders Linked to Kuje Prison Break
The Department of State Services (DSS) in Nigeria has filed terrorism charges against two senior commanders of the Ansaru terror group, Mahmud Usman and Mahmud, linked to a violent attack and the Kuje Prison break. The charges include leading a terrorist organization, funding activities, recruiting members, and planning violent operations nationwide.
The suspects are allegedly behind the deadly July 2022 attack on Kuje Prison, where 600 inmates, including Boko Haram suspects, escaped. The suspects are expected to face arraignment soon at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
This development comes after the arrest of Mahmud Usman, also known as Abu Bara, described as the Emir of Ansaru, and Mahmud, also known as Malam Mamuda, the Deputy Leader of the Mahmudawa cell.
