Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Government has narrated the breach of the Kabba Medium Security Custodial Centre in Kogi by gunmen.<\/p>\n

Sola Fasure, the spokesman to Interior Minister Rauf Aregbesola, said Controller General of the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), Haliru Nababa provided a brief.<\/p>\n

Fasure, in a statement, said security officers on duty, comprising 15 soldiers, 10 police officers and 10 armed guards of the NCoS, fought gallantly to repel the attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegrettably, two officers of the Correctional Service are yet to be accounted for while one soldier and a policeman lost their lives\u201d, he noted.<\/p>\n

The Kabba custodial facility had 294 inmates, many of whom escaped after the gunmen used explosives to destroy three sides of the perimeter fence.<\/p>\n

However, some voluntarily returned to the facility this morning; 28 inmates didn\u2019t escape after the jailbreak.<\/p>\n

Nababa is currently monitoring the situation and a tour of the facility is ongoing.<\/p>\n

The government has established a Crisis Response Centre and activated a Special Taskforce mobilized to recapture escaped inmates.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn Inter-Agency Security Task Force is already on the trail of the gunmen who attacked the facility. The public is advised to stay calm as the situation is under control.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also putting INTERPOL on notice with their details, in case any of them attempts fleeing outside our shores\u201d, the statement added.<\/p>\n

Aregbesola assured that security forces will find the attackers and bring them to justice.<\/p>\n

The minister appealed to communities around the prison to be vigilant and report strange and suspicious persons to the nearest law enforcement agency.<\/p>\n
