The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), has on Friday, published the information and images of some escapees from the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Suleja, FCT Command, which resulted from the unfortunate collapse of the facility’s perimeter wall following a heavy downpour on Wednesday, 24 April, 2024.
This publication and display of photographs of the fleeing inmates, followed a promise by the service, through its spokesperson, Abubakar Umar, at the joint press briefing of the security, defence and response agencies, at the defence headquarters in Abuja.
It would be recalled that in April 2024, no fewer than 119 inmates escaped from the medium security custodial centre, Suleja, Niger State, following an overnight torrential rainfall that damaged the walls of the prison facility.
But fielding questions from journaists, during a joint briefing at the defence headquarters on 7th June, the spokesperson of the service, Umar, announced plans to unveil the pictures of the escaped inmates, in the coming weeks.
