Three months after, NCoS unveils identities of 31 Suleja prison escapees

The Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS) has revealed the identities of 31 of the inmates who escaped from the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Suleja, Niger State on April 24, 2024.

The inmates numbering over 100, had staged an audacious prison break following a heavy downpour which affected parts of the perimeter fence and since then, a large majority of them have not been recaptured while a few have been caught and returned to the prison.

However, spokesman of the NCoS, ACC Abubakar Umar, in a statement on Thursday, said only 31 of the fleeing inmates were still at large and went on to reveal their identities.
