More than 100 prisoners have fled from a medium security prison in Nigeria following the destruction caused by heavy rainfall, as reported by the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) in a press release on Thursday. The incident occurred at the Medium Security Custodial Centres in Suleja, Niger state, where a total of 118 inmates escaped on Wednesday night. However, authorities have managed to recapture 10 of the escaped prisoners.
The NCS revealed that the heavy rain had damaged parts of the prison facility, surrounding buildings, and the perimeter fence. The NCS further explained that the facility was old, weak, and originally built during the colonial era.
