| Charles Okah |
On Friday, 24th of June, there was a jailbreak at Kuje Minimum Prisons, confirmed by The Nigeria Prisons Service (NPS), but said they could not yet ascertain if any inmate escaped.
The authorities at Kuje prison said the alleged mastermind of the 2010 independence day bomb blast in Abuja, Charles Okah, is still in its custody. As a result of the incident, the Comptroller General of the Service, Ahmed Ja’afaru, has ordered an immediate audit of inmates at the facility. He has also ordered an immediate investigation into the remote cause of the incident.
The Public Relations Officer of the Service, Francis Enobore told Sunday Vanguard that although “there was an ‘incident’ at the prison on Friday night but it has nothing to do with Charles Okah”.
“However, two inmates were reported to have escaped from the prison at about 1930hrs though not through jailbreak. The inmates in question were awaiting trial for culpable homicide and have no relationship with Charles Okah in what ever manner as it’s being speculated. Efforts are on in collaboration with sister security agencies and relevant bodies to recapture the fleeing prisoners
