The spokesman of the command, Ubah Ogaba who confirmed the development in a statement on Sunday night said, “On 28/11/2021 at about 1720hrs, the medium-security custodial centre in Jos came under attack by yet to be identified gunmen where some inmates escaped.
“Upon receipt of the report, the Commissioner of Police Plateau State Command, CP Bartholomew N. Onyeka who led reinforcement to the scene, directed that the entire centre be cordoned.
He continued, “The CP also directed immediate stop and search where seven escapees have been re-arrested by the police and are in custody while one escapee voluntarily surrendered himself to the police.
“Based on the prompt response, the situation was brought under control by the superior gunfire of Security Agencies.
