Eight prisoners were still on the loose following a jail break in Kogi Stae, while five other escapees have been recaptured, the head of the prisons service said on Sunday.
Ja’afaru Ahmed, the controller-general of prisons, said in a statement the incident happened on Saturday at Koton Karfe prison in Kogi state.
Ahmed said an inquiry has been launched into the incident. Jail breaks are commom in Nigeria’s underfunded and crowded prisons.
