Following the jailbreak that saw the escape of 119 inmates, the Federal Government has said it is considering relocating the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Suleja, Niger State.
Osun Defender had reported that 119 inmates escaped the centre following heavy rainfall on Wednesday night.
The torrential downpour had wreaked havoc on the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Suleja, Niger State, resulting in extensive damage to the facility.
Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, during a visit to the centre on Thursday, revealed that the facility houses 499 inmates, as opposed to the expected 250 that it was initially built for.
He confirmed that a total of 119 inmates had escaped, however, adding that 13 were re-arrested.
The downpour caused severe damage to the custodial centre’s infrastructure, including a breach in the perimeter fence, allowing some of the inmates to flee.
