No fewer than 119 inmates of the Medium Security Custodial Centre located in Suleja, Niger state, have escaped after hours of heavy downpour which destroyed parts of the facility on Wednesday night.
“A heavy downpour that lasted for several hours on the night of Wednesday, 24 April 2024 has wreaked havoc on the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Suleja, Niger state, as well as surrounding buildings, destroying part of the custodial facility, including its perimeter fence, giving way to the escape of a total of 118 inmates of the facility,” Dazu said.
Duza noted that the NCoS is not unmindful of the fact that many of its facilities were built during the colonial era and that they are old and weak. “This is evidenced in the ongoing construction of six number of 3000-capacity ultra-modern custodial centres in all the geo-political zones in Nigeria as well as the ongoing reconstruction and renovation of existing ones.
