Security operatives are searching
for some of the fleeing prisoners in Minna, Niger State.
This followed an attack on the
Medium Security Prison in Minna this evening.
The facility is located along David
Mark Road in the Niger State capital.
A gang of heavily armed men

270 inmates.
The gunmen were said to have forced
their way into the armoury and record room carting away some weapon and bullet
proof vests.
Witnesses said police were spotted chasing after
some of the prisoners, who were seen pulling their prison uniforms to escape
arrest.
