PRISON BREAK :20 PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM SAGAMU PRISON OGUN STATE NIGERIA





LOL! Should I call this prison break  season 50 hehe. There has to be a Nigerian Michael Scofield amongst the escapees.


An early morning jail break in Sagamu, Ogun state yesterday led to the escape of 20 inmates of the prison.  During the melee that trailed the jailbreak, many of the inmates as well as prison officials were seriously injured. it was  gathered that  many inmates were killed during the jailbreak which caught the authorities unaware.

During the revolt, many dangerous weapons including missiles were freely used prompting the authorities to draft in members of the armed squad to quel the riot. A large hole was dug on the prison wall through which they escaped after a stimulated revolt by the prisoners. As a result of the development, many of the prison officials who  were suspected  to have connived with some inmates were already  being interrogated by the police.

The Controller General of the Nigeria Prisons Service, Mr. Zakari Ohinoyi Ibrahim, who  confirmed the  jailbreak after an unscheduled visit, told journalists that four of the runaway prisoners had been re-arrested and brought back to the prison. He also disclosed that an  investigation team had been constituted to  ascertain the remote causes of the jailbreak.
