Severe flooding in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, following the Alau Dam failure, led to a prison break on Tuesday. As a result, an unconfirmed number of inmates were reported to have escaped from the city’s Custodial facility.

The rising waters damaged the prison, breaching security barriers and weakening the structure, allowing inmates to flee.

Authorities have confirmed that the escapees are highly dangerous and may be armed, posing a heightened risk to public safety in the region already affected by insurgency.

A manhunt is currently underway, with law enforcement agencies mobilising additional resources to recapture the inmates.
