There was commotion in the Badagry area of Lagos State, following the fleeing of some prison inmates who were being taken to court.
The incident was said to have occurred around 7am, at Beyuf Bus Stop on the Badagry Expressway, after a long bus belonging to the Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS) rammed into a Stationary truck.
It was learnt that several persons sustained injuries and as the prison officers were trying to calm nerves, many of the inmates were said to have fled.
At the time of filing this report, The Nation gathered that efforts were in top gear to arrest the escaped inmates, some of whom sustained injuries.
An official of the Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC) who pleaded anonymity the incident said the headlamp of the NPS was not bright and the driver did not see the stationary vehicle in good time.
He alleged that the occupants of the bus were trapped inside for hours before the arrival of some people.
“It rammed into the back of the truck headlong. Those inside the bus were trapped for sometime before one of the officials opened the door to allow rescuers carry out emergency work. Amidst the concussion, some of the prisoners escaped. The injured persons were taken to the hospital,” he said.
An official of the Nigerian Prison Service (NPS) told our correspondent that the service has commenced manhunt for the escapees.
