The Nigerian Correctional Service has released the names and pictures of those who escaped from the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Suleja, Niger State.
A downpour had damaged the perimeter fence of the centre which paved the way for over 180 inmates to escape in April 2024.
While some were recaptured, many others are still at large.
The service in a statement by its spokesperson, Abubakar Umar said releasing their images and names was done to recapture the escapees.
He said, “The Nigerian Correctional Service wishes to publish the information of some escapees from the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Suleja, FCT Command, which is as a result of the unfortunate collapse of the facility’s perimeter wall following a heavy downpour on Wednesday, April 24, 2024.
This has become pertinent to recapture them and bring them back to custody. The information of the fugitives is hereby published for sister security agencies as well as the general public to look out for them in an attempt to recapture them and bring them back to the facility. “
Umar called on Nigerians to support the service in its efforts to recapture the fleeing inmates.
