The Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Prisons
Service (NPS), Mr. Francis Enobore, has confirmed
to THISDAY that there was a jailbreak in the Kuje
maximum Prison on Friday night but said it was
yet to find out if any inmate escaped or not.
H told our correspondent on the phone that there
was an “incident” at the prison on Friday night
but it has nothing to do with Charles Okah
Meanwhile, sources at the Abuja airport who
craved for anonymity while speaking on phone
said the airport is on alert should escapees want
to use the airport.
Enobore, however, debunked the reports that a
brother of Henry Okah, jailed leader of the
Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta
(MEND), Charles Okah, escaped during the
jailbreak.
The NPS Spokesperson said: “It is not true,
Charlse Okah is still in custody. I have been in
touch with our men in the prison facility and
there is nothing like that [Okah escaping],”
Enobore said.
“The Comptoller of prisons has ordered an
investigation and that is going on. We want to
know if anybody escaped and if yes, what are
their identities.”
