Authorities of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) might have released the biometric details of fleeing inmates of the Suleja Medium Security Custodial Centre to all security agencies.
This would enable them to recapture 105 of the fleeing inmates, The Nation gathered yesterday.
It was learnt that only 13 of the inmates have been recaptured and brought back to the 250-capacity custodial centre in Suleja, about 80 kilometre from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
The escapees fled the facility last Wednesday night following a torrential and storms which pulled down part of the buildings and its perimeter fence.
Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo had visited the facility alongside senior government officials in the morning to assess the extent of damage and obtain further information on the escapees.
