The Nigerian Correctional Service has published the information of some escapees from the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Suleja, FCT Command, which is as a result of the unfortunate collapse of the facility’s perimeter wall following a heavy downpour on Wednesday, 24 April, 2024.
This has become pertinent in an effort to recapture them and bring them back to custody, a statement by the Spokesperson, Assistant Controller of Corrections Abubakar Danlami Umar noted.
According to Umar, the information of the fugitives are 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.
He, however, enjoined the public to cooperate with the Service to recapture these fleeing inmates as they pose danger to public safety and national security.
“The general public is further informed that the Nigerian Correctional Service has 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.
Additionally, the PRO stated that 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: info@corrections.gov.ng or complaintsresponsedesk@corrections.gov.ng“, he added.
