In Maiduguri, New prison faced a major collapse due to heavy flooding, which caused a chaotic scene as several prisoners took advantage of the situation to escape.
The torrential rains led to severe flooding in the area, weakening the prison walls and resulting in a structural failure.
As the prison’s defenses crumbled, inmates seized the opportunity to flee, prompting immediate response from the security agencies on duty. In an effort to regain control, security personnel began firing shots into the air in a bid to intimidate and prevent further escapes.
The situation remains tense as authorities work to track down the escapees and restore order in the prison.
