“To encourage public cooperation, the Nigerian Correctional Service is offering a reward of N5 million to anyone who provides actionable information leading to the re-arrest of the escaped inmates from Ilesa Custodial Centre,” the statement read.
Members of the public with relevant information are advised to contact the NCoS through any of the following channels:
Email: [email protected] or [email protected]
Phone: 07087086005, 09060004598, 08075050006
The jailbreak occurred in the early hours of Tuesday following a heavy overnight downpour which caused the facility’s aging perimeter wall to collapse, enabling seven inmates to escape.
The NCoS confirmed that the incident happened around 2:00 a.m. due to structural failure triggered by the storm.
Efforts to rearrest the escapees are ongoing. Authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and support security agencies in ensuring their swift capture.
