at least Thirteen inmates have escaped from the Koton-Karfi Medium Prison along Opareke in Kogi State. They were said to have escaped on Saturday morning after the prison wall collapsed.
Sources alleged that insiders could have facilitated the escape of the inmates.
SUNDAY PUNCH gathered that the
prison officials on duty opened some of the cells for the inmates to
come out for their normal morning activities, only for the inmates to
pull a section of the prison’s wall down and escape into a nearby bush.
One of the prison officials, who refused
to identify himself, said four kidnappers were brought to the
Koton-Karfi Prison on Friday afternoon. He added that the new inmates
might have been responsible for the escape.
Saturday’s incident is the third jailbreak in the last three weeks in the prison.
Efforts to speak with the Comptroller of Prison, Kogi State Command, Mr. Musa Maza, proved abortive.
