Nigerian Police Officers have averted a jail break by inmates of Keffi minimum security prison in Nasarawa state on Thursday, August 15.
According to The Nation reports, inmates decided to break or free themselves from the prison due to acute shortage of portable water, sewage disposal system, over-crowded facility, lack of proper medical attention, provision of a sachet of “pure water” and watery pap each morning as food led to the attempted jail break.
It was learnt that it took the intervention of the police and inspector general of police special technical squad to bring the situation under control.
