A non-governmental organisation, Muslim Media Watch Group of Nigeria, has condemned prison stakeholders in the country over incessant jailbreaks, which it says are putting innocent lives at great risk.

The group said that jailbreaks are becoming rampant because of the poor maintenance of Nigeria's prisons and advocated for concrete steps to stem the tide. In a statement by its National Coordinator, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi, the group said that jailbreaks are condemnable because they are capable of jeopardising innocent lives and even properties.

therefore, called for the relocation of Ilorin prison from inside the town of Okekura to Mahdi on the outskirts of Ilorin and redesigning of the medium prison at Mahdi to Maximum Security Prison to accommodate inmates to be moved from Okekura. It also called for the same in all parts of the country, saying 'it is unfashionable to locate prisons inside city centres.
