Read- Charles Okah has not be seen in his jail cell since the jailbreak, Prison sources now claim he was being “interrogated”
The Nigeria Prisons Service (NPS) has confirmed that there was a jailbreak in the Kuje maximum Prison on Friday night but said it was yet to find out if any inmate escaped or not.
The Public Relations Officer of the Service, Francis Enobore told Thenigerialawyer on the phone that there was an “incident” at the prison on Friday night.
He however, debunked the reports that a brother of Henry Okah, jailed leader of the Movement For The Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) Charles Okah escaped during the jailbreak. “Yes there was an incident yesterday, but Okah was not involved,” he said.
“It is not true, Charlse Okah is still in custody. I have been in touch with our men in the prison facility and there is nothing like that [Okah escaping],” Enobore said.
“The Comptoller of prisons has ordered an investigation and that is going on. We want to know if anybody escaped and if yes, what are their identities,” he added.
Mr. Enobore the Service will release a statement once the preliminary investigation is concluded.
