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.”
