An inmate convicted with murder has escaped from the Kirikiri Maximum Prison after reportedly bribing a Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS) warden with the sum of N50, 000.
A convict on death row identified as Wale, has allegedly escaped from the Kirikiri Maximum Prison after allegedly bribing a Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS) warden with the sum of N50, 000.
The inmate, who is currently at large, is a murder convict who was sentenced to death for killing his friend and burying him to avoid detection. He had also buried his victim’s car.
The convict was said to have hatched his escape plan after his appeal for a reversal of his sentence failed to scale through and the court stood by its judgement.
Despite the high fence and the seeming tight security outside the prison, as well as the well-bred sniffer dogs, the convict escaped into thin air and is yet to be found.
The suspected prison warden has been taken into custody.
It was gathered that the escape will lead to a major shake up and mass transfer in the prison service in a few days time.
