In an update on Monday, Enobore disclosed that nine inmates died and six others were injured during the gun duel between the attackers and Armed Squad officers of the service.
The Service spokesman also revealed that apart from one of the attackers who was killed, an official of the Service lost his life in the encounter while another officer was severely injured.
He, however, said that ten fleeing inmates that escaped from the facility have been recaptured, adding that 252 inmates are still on the run.
