Following the massive escape of prisoners from the Owerri Custodial Centre, over 80 of the fleeing inmates have voluntarily returned.
A source at the Nigerian Correctional Service confirmed the development to The Nation on Wednesday.
He said: “About 17 of them returned on Tuesday and on Wednesday, we saw more than 20 returning back.
“But they are mainly those on awaiting trial, those who have less prison term and those who are about to complete their terms, have returned so far”.
About 42 of the inmates returned as of Monday evening, bringing the total number of returning inmates to 80.
”The problem we are having, and this is not peculiar to the jailbreak here, is that none of the hardened and condemned inmates (HCI) who escaped has returned.
