Just In: Prison Break in Borno following severe flooding
Due to severe flooding in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital on Tuesday, a prison break has occurred at the Custodial facility in the city, and unconfirmed number of inmates have escaped from the correctional centre.
A raging flooding has caused extensive damage to the prison facility. Rising waters have breached security barriers and weakened structural supports, allowing inmates to break free from their confinement.

However, a manhunt is underway to locate and recapture the escaped inmates, with law enforcement agencies mobilising additional resources.
