中新网北京4月26日电 阿布贾消息：据路透社26日报道，尼日利亚首都附近的苏莱贾监狱近日被大雨损坏，至少118名囚犯趁机越狱。
Adamu Duza, a spokesman for the Nigerian Prison Service, said in a statement on the 25th that the downpour, which began on the evening of the 24th and lasted for several hours, damaged parts of the prison, including the walls and surrounding buildings, and some prisoners took the opportunity to escape. Law enforcement officials are hunting for the fugitives and have so far captured 10 of them with the help of other security agencies. Duza said authorities were closely tracking the remaining fugitives. He assured the public that the situation was under control and called on the public to keep an eye out for fugitives and report any suspicious activity to the nearest security agency.
尼日利亚监狱管理局发言人阿达穆·杜扎25日在一份声明中说，从24日晚间开始的倾盆大雨持续几个小时，损坏了这座监狱的部分区域，包括围墙和周围的建筑物，部分囚犯趁机逃走。执法人员正在追捕逃犯，迄今为止在其他安全机构的帮助下抓获了其中10人。杜扎称，当局正在密切追踪其余逃犯。他向公众保证局势正在当局掌控中，并呼吁公众留意逃犯踪迹，向最近的安全机构报告任何可疑活动。
Reuters said Duza did not disclose details such as the identity of the escaped prisoners, but members of the extremist group Boko Haram have been held at Suleja prison in the past.
路透社说，杜扎没有透露越狱囚犯的身份等细节，但极端组织“博科圣地”的成员过去曾被关押在苏莱贾监狱。
Prison escapes have become a major security issue in Nigeria, where overcrowding, underfunding and lax security have created conditions for inmates to escape. In recent years, thousands of prisoners have escaped from prison in the country due to poor infrastructure and militant attacks.
路透社报道，越狱已成为尼日利亚的一个主要安全问题，监狱过度拥挤、资金不足和安全措施松懈为囚犯越狱创造了条件。近年来，由于基础设施薄弱和武装分子袭击，该国越狱囚犯达到数千人。
Duza said many of the facilities under the Nigerian Prison Service were built during the colonial era and are old and weak. The bureau is working to modernize prisons, including the construction of six prisons with a capacity of 3,000 people and the renovation of existing facilities.
杜扎称，尼日利亚监狱管理局下属的许多设施都是在殖民时代建造的，设施老旧薄弱。该局正在努力实现监狱现代化，包括建造六座可容纳3000人的监狱以及改造现有设施。
