The Controller of Correction, O. F. Enobore, said as at 3:50pm of April 7, 2021, the Centre had recovered a total of 48 inmates who escaped in the wake of the invasion, thus increasing the number of inmates presently in custody to 84, including those that resisted the temptation to escape during the attack.
The recaptured inmates escaped from the facility on Monday when gunmen invaded it, releasing about 1,844 inmates.
The Service Public Relations Officer, Francis Enobore, disclosed this in a statement early on Tuesday in Abuja.
The attackers, who stormed the facility at about 2:15ham, gained entrance into the yard by using explosives to blast the administration block.
