Saturday, July 20, 2024 -The Nigerian Correctional Service, (NCoS) has released details of biometric information of some escapees from the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Suleja, under the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command.
According to LIB in April this year that 119
inmates of the correctional center fled after the facility’s perimeter wall
collapsed following a heavy downpour. Some of the inmates were immediately
recaptured while security forces were still on the trail of the majority of
them.
The Correctional Service said it had become
pertinent to publish their biometric details to recapture them and bring them
back into custody. The Service had earlier published biometric details of 18 of
the fleeing inmates.
In a statement released, the center's
public relations officer of the service, Abubakar Umar, said the information
about the fugitives is “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.”
Umar enjoined Nigerians to cooperate with
the Service to recapture the fleeing inmates as they pose a 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.
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
