THE Federal Government has recaptured seven inmates who escaped from the Medium Security Custodial Centre MSCC in Maiduguri, Borno state following a flooding incident last week.
Consequently, the government has unveiled the identities of 281 inmates who are still at large, saying it has also launched a fierce manhunt for them.
Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Correctional Service NCoS, Umar Abubakar, an Assistant Controller of Corrections disclosed this in a statement issued Sunday in Abuja.
The flooding brought down the walls of the correctional facilities, as well as the staff quarters in the City.
“Upon the evacuation of inmates by officers of the service with support from sister security agencies to a safe and secure facility, 281 inmates were observed to be missing.
