Seven Inmates Escape From Osun Correctional Facility, FG Launch Manhunt by Newsgeek24(op): 1:25am On May 21, 2025
The Federal Government has begun a widespread manhunt for seven inmates who escaped from the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Ilesa, Osun State, following heavy overnight rainfall that compromised the facility’s security, News360 Nigeria reports.

According to a statement issued Tuesday night by the spokesperson of the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), DCC Abubakar Umar, the incident occurred around 2:00 a.m. on May 20, 2025.

He confirmed that the downpour caused a breach in the perimeter, enabling the inmates to flee.

In response, the Controller General of Corrections, CGC Sylvester Nwakuche, has ordered an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding the jailbreak.

Umar disclosed that security operatives are collaborating with sister agencies and community leaders in a coordinated operation to track down and rearrest the escapees.

He appealed to members of the public to support the effort by providing any useful information that could lead to the capture of the fugitives.

The NCoS also released emergency response lines for the public: 07087086005, 09060004598, and 08075050006.

Most of the correctional centres, are old,they need to be fortified. Names and pictures af those that escaped out to be published. Or they don't have a proper database of inmates ?

No proper database.
Despite the heavy fundings.
Been obsolete is a Nigerian facility option.

Nigeria and it's archaic way of doing things. Database would sound like something futuristic to the correctional facility management

Folks whose accommodation is near the correctional facility have a lot to worry about.

Let's look at this from another angle.

The fact is, most of our prisions are old and out of date. Most were new when our grandparents were not even born yet. I think that Kuje prision is the newest prision in NIgeria, and it was built in the 1980's.

SO, why won't they be easy to break out from?

APC has seen many prision breaks since 2015. And they won't hear something...and do something.

Every prison break is a planned deal orchestrated to free some notorious inmates and may have a political undertone.

Like the one that happened in the USA?

In the USA, prision breaks are a common thing. Also in France recently, a high security risk prisioner broke out of prision in an escape that involved helicopter.

Also keep in mind that many of our prisions are old. Easy to escape from. The surprising thing is that more prisioners haven't done a runner. Blame your government for not improving them, or building new secure ones.

Nigeria inmate are getting wise taking advantage of old dilapidated building of cells

Another rainy season in Nigeria equals to..

Flooding in Urban areas due to poor drainage systems or non existing drainages.
Jail breaks due to dilapidated prison buildings.
Roads not tarred evolving into sink holes.
Falling down of buildings not constructed within the right building policy and lack or minimal supervision from the appropriate building authorities.

I stated this because this are recurrent scenarios that play out every year since I was small. It's as if we don't learn in this country, all we do is to be reactive.


Well at least Power generation threshold increases.
All in all Rainy season is the best to me.

The officials of the correctional facilities are aware of the pros of database but however, it would limit corruption, accountability and extortion. So they can't afford to lose the grip on their illegal ways.

Nigeria is too corrupt.

Re: Seven Inmates Escape From Osun Correctional Facility, FG Launch Manhunt by ARISHEM:
1 or 2 years ago they argued that excess rain was the reason why hundreds of hardened criminals, terrorists and rapists escape prison. They repeat the same excuse again today. angry

Are they saying all this while since that incident they did no employ appropriate measures they promised to provide to forestall such incidences from repeating itself.

They were aided by their Yoruba brothers working in the prisons.
Hope the escapees are not those una regular ritualists? Because they are dangerous to the society.
Re: Seven Inmates Escape From Osun Correctional Facility, FG Launch Manhunt by AustineE1: 8:20am On May 21, 2025
The police should take over from here,in saner climes,the first thing to do is to post the picture of the escapees on every platform accompanied with this plea that the public should notify the authority in case you come across them.With specific warning of how dangerous they criminals are and the kind of crime they were involved in.May be a serial killer or paedophile etc.
