Posted by If the escaped convicts from the Suleija prison in neighboring Niger State try to go into Kwara or do any damage, the state’s police command will stop them.
It may be remembered that 118 convicts escaped from the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Suleja, Niger State, after a violent nighttime downpour damaged the facility on April 24, 2024.
“As a neighboring state, the Kwara state police is well aware of the security ramifications of such occurrence,” stated DSP Ejire Adeyemi Toun, who spoke on behalf of the Kwara command in an Ilorin statement on Sunday.
The command, she added, was on high alert and cooperating closely with the appropriate authorities to guarantee the state’s safety and security, as promised by Commissioner Victor Olaiya.
