Prison Break: Nigerian, Okoro Escapes From India Cell by kogistar: 3:55pm On Jan 04, 2017
A Nigerian drug peddler, John
Okoro who had served a prison
term and was a few hours
from being deported has made
a daring escape from the Anti-
Narcotics Cell’s custody,
Indian newspapers have
reported.
Okoro, 35, had sought
permission to step out of the
detention room on the first
floor of the agency’s Azad
Maidan office around 2 a m,
saying he wanted to use the
toilet, and then jumped from
the balcony. He crashed
through the asbestos roof and
fled on foot.
The constable guarding him
also leaped from the balcony
in a desperate attempt to nab
him, but ended up injured. He
is recovering at the Nagpada
police hospital.
The Anti-Narcotics Cell’s Azad
Maidan office is barely 15 feet
from the local police station.
The office shares a wall with
the police’s station detection
room. The Esplanade court is
in the same compound.
An alert has been issued for
Okoro, who was convicted for
trying to selling banned
substances in 2014 and
recently completed his jail
term.
Before his conviction, the 35-
year-old Nigerian lived in
Koparkhairane, Navi Mumbai.
After his prison sentence
ended, he was placed under
the ANC’s custody on
December 31 and he was due
to be deported on Monday
afternoon.
“Around 2 am, Okoro told the
constable on guard that he
wanted to visit the washroom.
He was being taken there
when he jumped from the
balcony. He landed on the
asbestos roof, which
immediately gave away,” a
police officer said. “He ran in
the directions of Mahapalika
Marg.”
Another officer said a manhunt
had been launched and the
Anti-Narcotics Cell had asked
informers to be on the lookout.
Okoro was wearing a blue
shirt, blue jeans and slippers.
Fresh charges stemming from
his daring escape have been
registered at the Azad Maidan
police again.

The guy is daft big one for that matter instead of him to be happy he was not killed like others who did same business in Asia and thankfully come back home and plan on his next move in life positively he's escaping as if they won't catch him soon! Guess what when he's caught it would be a sorry case for him.
