Security officers have recovered some of the detainees who escaped from the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Abolongo, Oyo State, on Friday, according to the Federal Government.
The Media Adviser to the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, Sola Fasure, disclosed this in a statement at the weekend.
While the number of those who fled the correctional facility is yet to be ascertained, Fasure also disclosed that some other escapees returned voluntarily while some are still on the run.
He said, “Security agencies are on the trail of the escaped inmates, while a joint security services manhunt has been launched immediately for the apprehension of the assailants.
“This has led to the capture of some of the inmates while others returned voluntarily. However, those who are on the run are advised to turn themselves in, as an escape from lawful custody is a serious offence. The full weight of the law will be brought on them when arrested.”
He added, “Armed squad unit members of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) and other security agencies on guard at the facility engaged the attackers in a gun duel that lasted for 20 minutes before they were overpowered.”
