Nigeria Prisons Service, Bauchi State Command, has refuted speculations of attempted jail-break at the Bauchi Central Prisons.

Its Public Relations Officer, Adam Jibrin, said there was no such incident, expressing dismay at the unprecedented anxiety the purported jail-break has generated in many quarters.

Jibrin said, the Nigeria Prisons Service wished to inform the general public that the story was unfounded, saying there was neither such incident in Bauchi Central Prison, nor indeed any other prison within Bauchi state.

He assured the general public that the Nigeria Prisons Service would always do all within its statutory mandate to ensure the safe custody and reformation of inmates under its care.

The last time jail-break was recorded at the Bauchi Central Prisons, was in twenty-ten.
