Gunmen have been trapped inside Jos Medium Security Custodial Centre in Plateau State after launching attack on the facility.
A statement by by the spokesperson by Francis Enobore on Sunday said the facility came under attack by gunmen who reportedly stormed the facility in large number with sophisticated weapons.
The invaders were said to have arrived at the Custodial Center at about 1720hrs and immediately made for the main gate where they engaged the armed squad personnel in a gun battle before breaking into the yard.
Although they gained entrance to the yard, they are however trapped within as men from sister security services were immediately mobilised to assist the armed guards to cordon the perimeter wall and the general area.
Reinforcement from the response squad of the services has also been mobilised to the center.
The situation was put under control as the attackers firing power was subdued by superior fire from a combined team of security agencies.
