In the last one year, 5,238 inmates have escaped from various prisons across Nigeria.

There have been 15 incidents of jailbreaks within that period, and eight of those were successful.

The prison break in Jos on Friday November 26, 2021 is the latest of such jailbreaks. Authorities of the Nigerian Correctional Service said eight inmates have been recaptured.
