The truck had on transit, one hundred and thirty four males and six females as about ten of them were said to have escaped into the market.
Most States in the SouthWest region of the Country have been on edge following the seeming spread of the pervasive insecurity in the Northern part of the Country down south.
The attack on some hitherto secured facilities in and around the Federal capital territyory has added to the anxiety over the Secuirity of lives and Property across the Country.
The recent arrest of some of the fleeing escapees from the Kuje Custodial Centre attack in some states of the region has also not helped matters with most security outfits now in a high state of alert not knowing where the next attack will occur.
The Statement credited to the National Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress and Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba Land, Otunba Gani Adams, on the occupation of some forests within the region by bandits has further excerbated the issue.
