13 inmates escape in Kogi prison jailbreak

13 inmates of the Kotonkarfe in Kogi State reportedly escaped in the early hours of Saturday after bringing down the wall of the facility.

It is still unclear how the inmates executed the plan but a security source told Vanguard that “It’s as if someone in the prisons did not do his/her job well and the prisoners took advantage of that to make good their escape.”

It was learnt that some kidnapping kingpins paraded by the Department of State Services were being detained at the facility.

Abujacitynews learnt that the Comptroller General of Nigeria Prisons Service, NPS has despatched a representative to assess the situation.
