Many Inmates Escape From Borno Prison As Flooding Breaches Security

A prison break occurred at the Custodial facility in Maiduguri, Borno State, allowing a large number of inmates to escape.

The incident happened on Tuesday due to severe flooding in Maiduguri, which caused significant damage to the prison and other parts of the city.

Prison authorities have confirmed that the escapees are highly dangerous and may be armed, raising concerns about increased security risks in a region already troubled by terrorist and criminal activities.

A manhunt is currently underway, with law enforcement agencies deploying extra resources to track down and recapture the fugitives.

KanyiDaily had reported how thousands of people were forced to leave their homes due to severe flooding in Maiduguri.
