Unknown gunmen believed to be militants have attacked Afokang Correctional Center in Calabar South Local Government Area of Cross River State.
The gunmen in their numbers during the attack killed armed security and made away with his rifle.
The incident occurred in the night hours of Wednesday, October 18, 2023, at about 7:PM.
Confirming the incident, the Public Relations Officer of Cross River State Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service, DSC Effanga Etim when contacted on the telephone affirmed the incident.
“I am on a press statement and will issue it soon, just go straight. There was an attack on our staff but did not affect the facility. I’m on the press statement and will…”
However, it is not clear if it was an attempted prison break and if there was a repel that made gaining access to the facility futile.
