Surprise As NCoS Names Only 18 Out Of 96 Escapees From Suleja Prison

The Nigerian Correctional Service has released the records of inmates who fled Suleja Medium Security Custodial Centre in Niger State in a bid to get them back to custody.

The correctional centre shut down temporarily following the destruction wrought by heavy rainfall, which led to the escape of prison inmates.

The Nigerian Correctional Service has now made available a comprehensive list of inmates, designed to assist authorities and the public in finding and identifying the missing individuals.

A total of 119 prisoners managed to break free from the Suleja Medium Security Custodial Centre, Niger State, on April 24, 2024.

The spokesperson for the Nigerian Correctional Service, Abubakar Umar, during a press conference on June 6, 2924 disclosed that 23 escapees had been successfully brought back.

Umar also promised the public that the service would share photos of the escaped inmates to help in their identification and capture.

“I want to say hear that there is a concerted effort by the service to recapture fleeing inmates. I want to put on record that we have been able to recapture 23 escapes, so far.

“I want to also assure you that we are working hard to release the pictures of the fleeing inmates,” Umar had said.

However, as of Saturday afternoon, June 15, 2024, checks by newsmen on the official website of NCoS revealed that the service has published the details of only 18 out of the 96 fleeing inmates.

The names of the fleeing inmates published include; Ogbonna Kingsley, Auwal Mohammed, Mustapha Ibrahim, Suleiman Sani, Raphael Kingsley, Abdullahi Babangida, Idris Bashir, Umar Mustapha, and Ayuba Obidience.

Others include; Lamido Gambo, Garba Fidelis, Mohammed Jibrin, Sylvester Allison, Albert Israel, Edoga Okwudili, Olaiya Stephen, Audo Usman and Ibrahim Aminu.
