No fewer than 6,675 inmates, including high-profile Boko Haram terrorists and murderers, have escaped in 13 separate jailbreaks that hit Nigerian custodial centres in the last five years.
Sunday PUNCH reports that 2,032 (30.4 per cent) of the escapees have been recaptured by security operatives, while 4,643 (69.5 per cent) remain at large.
The latest jailbreak occurred on Tuesday in Borno State, where 280 inmates escaped from the Maiduguri Medium Security Custodial Centre following severe flooding in the capital city.
The inmates fled after a portion of the perimeter fence of the facility was pulled down by the flood
