The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has released the pictures, names and other information of inmates who escaped from the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Suleja, FCT Command, as a result of the collapse of the facility’s perimeter wall following a heavy downpour on Wednesday, 24 April 2024.
In a statement by Abubakar Umar, the Public Relations Officer of NCoS on Thursday, this step has become pertinent in an effort 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.
“The public is further enjoined to cooperate with the Service to recapture these fleeing inmates as they pose a danger to public safety and national security,” he said.
According to Umar, the NCoS had since deployed overt and covert strategies towards recapturing all escapees, while ensuring that security in custodial facilities nationwide is beefed up to forestall any security breaches.
He said: “If any of the escapees is sighted, the public can report to the nearest security agent or agency or may call the following numbers: 07087086005, 09060004598, or 08075050006. The public can also contact us through our email on: [email protected] or [email protected]”.
