Not less than 13 inmates yesterday escaped from the Koton-Karfe Prison in Kogi State. This incident came barely two years after suspected insurgents attacked the facility and released inmates.It was learnt the inmates breached the perimeter fence and escaped into the nearby bush.
A reliable source hinted that the incident occurred around 7am at the federal facility.
A source, who sought anonymity, said: “There were security lapses somewhere and the inmates seized the opportunity to escape after pulling down the wall.”
The new prison located along the Opareke Road was inaugurated by immediate Minister of Interior, Abah Moro.
Unconfirmed report has it that the latest jail break might not be unconnected with the arrival of four suspected interstate kidnappers and armed robbers at the facility.
