At least 400 convicts are on the run after escaping from a prison in central Nigeria.
The facility was attacked on Wednesday, in an operation claimed by ISIL (ISIS).
Members of the armed group are among those who escaped, and are still at large.
That's left people in the surrounding community - and in the nearby capital, Abuja - scared.
Al Jazeera's Ahmed Idris has more from Kuje.
