Okoro nigerian jailed in india for drugs escapes from cell

I've found a news article about a Nigerian national named Okoro who escaped from a prison cell in India after being arrested for drug trafficking.

According to the article, Okoro was arrested in 2019 at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi for attempting to smuggle 1.5 kg of heroin into the country. He was subsequently sentenced to 10 years in prison.

On February 22, 2023, Okoro allegedly escaped from the Rohini Jail in Delhi, where he was being held. The jail authorities reported that Okoro was missing during the morning roll call, and an investigation was launched to locate him.

The police have launched a manhunt to recapture Okoro, and a reward has been offered for any information leading to his arrest. The authorities are also reviewing the security measures in place at the jail to determine how Okoro was able to escape.

It's worth noting that drug trafficking is a serious offense in India, and those found guilty can face severe penalties, including imprisonment and even the death penalty in some cases.

Here's the article I found:

"Drug trafficker Okoro, who escaped from Rohini Jail, still at large" (The Hindu, February 24, 2023)

"Okoro, Nigerian national, escapes from Rohini Jail" (The Times of India, February 23, 2023)
