The
Benue Prisons Service on Monday confirmed that herdsmen invaded its
Jato-Aka Farm Centre and killed an inmate, one Tersoo Agidi. ASP Stephen
Nwanchor, Public Relations Officer, Benue Prisons Service, said the
incident took place on Saturday at the farm centre. .
.
Nwanchor
said that the invasion was not a failed jail break attempt. “This is a
new farm centre established in January, 2017. The herdsmen invaded the
place, destroyed property, shot and killed one Tersoo Agidi, an inmate.
.
.
We
have evacuated all the remaining inmates from the farm centre to Gboko,
pending the outcome of the investigation. We are not taking anything
for granted. My Controller of Prison is on top of the issue, and all
relevant security operatives in the state have been notified,” Nwanchor
said.
