The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has disclosed that 274 inmates are missing after flooding brought down the walls of the Medium Security Custodial Centre, (MSCC) Maiduguri.
The spokesman of NCoS, Umar Abubakar, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Sunday.
Recent flooding in Maiduguri, Borno State, has been devastating.
The floods, caused by the collapse of the Alau Dam after heavy rainfall, have submerged large parts of the city, displacing over a million people and resulting in at least 30 deaths.
