Jos – Some inmates have escaped from the Jos Correctional Centre located within the busy area of Jos, the Plateau state capital, on Thursday, officials said.
It was also gathered that the escaped inmates are the same gang which overpowered Correctional centre officials while being taken to court in Barkin Ladi local government area sometimes in 2020.
They were rearrested by men of Operation Safe Haven and handed over to the Correctional centre until this recent incident where they successfully escaped from custody.
