NCoS Offers N5 Million for Info on Escaped Ilesha Inmates!

 

Public safety just got a significant boost and a potential payday! The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has just announced a massive N5 million cash reward for anyone who can provide information leading to the recapture of inmates who escaped from the Medium Custodial Centre in Ilesha, Osun State.

The escape, which occurred on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, was a direct result of nature's fury meeting aging infrastructure: an old perimeter wall of the facility collapsed following an overnight rainfall, creating a path to freedom for an unknown number of inmates.

Speaking on, Wednesday, May 21, Deputy Controller of Corrections and NCoS Public Relations Officer, Umar Abubakar, issued a clear plea to the public. "The Service urges members of the public to report any information they may have regarding the whereabouts of the inmates at large to the nearest security agencies," he stated.
