No fewer than 119 inmates of the medium security prisons, Suleja, Niger State, have escaped, following hours of heavy downpour which destroyed parts of the facility of yesterday.
Spokesman of the Federal Capital Territory FCT command of the Nigerian Prisons Service, NPS, Adamu Duza, disclosed this in Abuja yesterday.
Duza said the Service was not unmindful of the fact that many of its facilities were built during the colonial era and that they were old and weak, adding that the Service was making frantic efforts to see that all ageing facilities gave way to modern ones.
