The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has vowed to capture inmates that escaped in the early hours of Monday 24th March 2024 from the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Koton Karfe, Kogi state.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, adding that biometrics and deployed technological solutions would be used to capture the escapees.
According to the Kogi State Information Commissioner, Kingsley Fanwo, “The theory that the inmates escaped through the tower without causing any structural damage raises serious concerns.
“This calls for a thorough investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the escape, arrest the fleeing inmates, and identify possible saboteurs within the system.”
