Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, says inma tes who escaped from the custodial centre in Owerri, Imo capital, will be granted amnesty if they return voluntarily.

Recall that over 1,880 inmates were said to have escaped from the prison after it was attacked by gunmen in the early hours of Monday, April 4.

Speaking during the inspection of the centre on Tuesday, April 6, Aregbesola said escape from custody is unlawful, and a crime. He explained that if those who escaped return willingly, they will be pardoned from a trial for unlawful escape.

“Unlawful escape from custody is a crime but the government in its magnanimity will grant amnesty to prisoners who willfully return. They will no longer be charged with an unlawful escape but only for the initial crimes that took them to prison. So we urge all escapees to return before they are caught on the run,” he said.

In a country like Nigeria? Return gbukwaa gi ebea. Nigeria police, wardens and other forces no Sabi anything biko. Any escapee that they catch later will only be caught if his village people are at work or Ndi Osuimi

The question is: have they freed the inmates that stayed and didn't escapee during the breakout before they are advising the inmates that fled without looking back to return so they can free them.....Our governments should at least get brain for once na

Odikwa risky
