Kogi prison break: authorities recapture five escapees, hunt continues

Published on March 24, 2025 at 07:39 PM

The Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS) has confirmed the recapture of five out of twelve inmates who escaped from the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Koton Karfe, Kogi State.

According to a statement by the Service Public Relations Officer, Abubakar Umar, the jailbreak occurred in the early hours of Monday, March 24, after some awaiting trial inmates allegedly tampered with padlocks in their section, leading to the mass escape.

Upon receiving reports of the incident, Acting Controller-General of NCoS, Mr. Sylvester Nwakuche, mobilized security personnel in collaboration with sister agencies and the Senior Special Adviser to the Governor of Kogi to secure the facility and launch a manhunt.

“As of this moment, five of the fleeing inmates have been recaptured, while efforts are ongoing to apprehend the remaining escapees and bring them to justice,” Umar stated.

He further disclosed that a comprehensive investigation has been ordered into the security breach, alongside a nationwide security audit of all correctional facilities to prevent future incidents.

Authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity that could aid in recapturing the remaining inmates.
