In Tuesday prison breach by the insurgents, Boko Haram inmates and other hardened criminals were freed.
Mr Buhari had on Wednesday visited the prison attacked by the terrorists and said he was disappointed with the nation’s intelligence system.
“I am disappointed with the intelligence system. How can terrorists organise, have weapons, attack a security installation and get away with it?” said Mr Buhari.
