According to a statement released Tuesday evening by the Service’s national spokesman, Umar Abubakar, the heavy rainfall which occurred around 2:00am on May 20, 2025, caused a breach in the facility’s perimeter security, a “force majeure” that gave the inmates an opportunity to flee.

The statement explained that in swift response, the Controller-general of the Service, Sylvester Ndidi Nwakuche, ordered an immediate investigation into the jailbreak.

This is as the NCoS revealed that it was already collaborating with other security agencies and community leaders to recapture the escapees.

The statement read in part, “The Service solicits the cooperation of the public in providing information that may lead to the recapture of the fleeing inmates.”
