Items found on them included passports, ID cards, personal belongings, 1,460 Naira, GH¢2,053, and other belongings.

Ablakwa speaking on the development in a Facebook post said “Even though Nigerian officials have requested INTERPOL assistance, it is crucial that our citizens, particularly those residing in border communities are educated on how to increase alertness and it shouldn’t be impossible to widely circulate pictures of all the former inmates of the Kogi-based Security Custodial Centre.

“We must all commit to playing our part in improving the worrying volatile security situation in the sub-region.”
