The Nigeria Correctional Service, NCoS, said three more inmates who fled its custodial facility in Suleija, Niger State, Wednesday, have been recaptured while 106 others remain on the loose.
He dismissed online reports which quoted unnamed security officials as saying that 50 inmates had been recaptured. He also dismissed a television report which said there were over 8,000 thousand fleeing inmates across the country. Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, who visited the facility said there was a need to relocate the correctional centre from the urban centre.
