A fleeing inmate, who returned home from the Federal Correctional Centre in Owerri, Imo state which was attacked on Monday has been set ablaze.
According to a report by, The Nation, he was set ablaze by some apparently angry residents of Umuawom village, Ihodimeze community in Ikeduru council area of Imo State on Wednesday.
The escaped inmate, whose identity was yet to be ascertained, was said to have hailed from the nearby Ogwa community in Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State but grew up in Umuawom village, which is his maternal home.
It was gathered that he had been named as a suspect in a kidnap activity that involved one of the families in Umuawom village but was eventually apprehended and remanded in custody for over one year.
However, when he escaped from the prison on Monday, he reportedly went straight to one of the families that testified against him and threatened to deal with them.
