NCS Denies Ilorin Borstal Breakout; Jailbreak Occurred at Separate Juvenile Centre

Date: 2025-04-22

The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS), Kwara State Command, has denied reports of a jailbreak at the Borstal Training Institute in Ilorin on Monday.

A statement by the institute's Public Relations Officer, A.O. Bamigbade, confirmed the claims of nine inmates escaping were false.

However, DAILY POST reported that the incident occurred at a separate juvenile custodial centre owned by the Kwara State government, located along the Oko-Erin axis in Ilorin metropolis-a facility not under NCS jurisdiction.

The statement read in part; "The attention of the NCoS has been drawn to an online publication alleging that nine inmates escaped as jailbreak rocked Kwara Custodial facility. It is therefore imperative to make this clarification to disabuse the minds of the public.

"The facility where the purported jailbreak occurred is the juvenile custodial center owned and controlled by the Kwara State government.

"It is quite different from the Borstal Training Institute, Ilorin, which is a juvenile custodial facility within the jurisdiction of the Nigerian Correctional Service.

"The records from the Borstal Training Institute, Ilorin as at the period of this release, 20th of April, 2025 showed clearly that all inmates are intact and the facility is peaceful and calm.

"The service wishes to reiterate its commitment to the safe custody of those who are legally interned. The public is also enjoined to always seek clarifications on matters of public safety to avoid being misled,” the statement added.
