Authorities of the Nigeria Police Force have confirmed a jailbreak in Kabba, Kogi State.
The development was confirmed on Monday by the Assistant Inspector-General of Police Zone 8, Ayuba Edeh. He added the State Commissioner of Police and other heads of security agencies have swung into action.
TVC News reliably gathered that gunmen in their tens attack the centre which is on the Kabba – Lokoja highway, on Sunday night through Monday morning, killing the military men keeping guard on the road before attacking the centre.
The gunmen thereafter launched attack on the prison officers before making ways to set all the prisoners free.
