Daily Trust names Samson David and Salvation Moro as the Okene escapees. Leadership names the same two men. Punch's account of the correctional service statement does not print either name.

Two convicted inmates left the Okene centre on Sunday, November 8, and were still being sought on Tuesday. That is what Daily Trust, Leadership, and Punch report. The names, the theft conviction, and the armed-robbery sentence are Daily Trust and Leadership. They are not on the Punch account of the Nigerian Correctional Service statement. Okene Correctional Centre, on the police pages, and the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Okene, on Punch, are not the same name. 10:30 a.m., 10:30 hours, 10:30am, and 1030hrs are not the same clock.

Daily Trust, by Tijani Labaran, Tuesday, 10 Nov 2026, at 15:27:25 WAT, reported that the Kogi State Police Command has confirmed the escape of two convicted inmates from the Okene Correctional Centre. It reported the escapees are Samson David, convicted of theft, and Salvation Moro, who was serving a sentence for armed robbery, and that they reportedly escaped through the facility's rear perimeter fence on Sunday. It reported the Officer-in-Charge alerted the police by telephone at about 10:30 a.m. on Sunday. It reported a Tuesday statement by ASP Saliu Oyiza Afusat, spokesperson of the Kogi State Police Command, said the incident happened on Sunday, 8th November 2026, at about 10:30 hours. About 10:30 a.m., and about 10:30 hours, are both on that page. It quoted her: "The Command has received a report from the Correctional Centre and is collaborating with the Nigerian Correctional Service and other relevant security agencies to ensure the prompt re-arrest of the escapees." The page prints "Afusat, said," with a comma before said. It quoted her that this is the first and only official statement she has made to the press regarding this incident, and that any information or publication attributed to her beyond this statement should be disregarded unless officially confirmed by the Command. Leadership, by Ibrahim Obansa, with a published time of 3:01:56 p.m. WAT on November 10, 2026, reported the inmates escaped on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at about 10:30am, and identified them as Samson David, convicted of theft, and Salvation Moro, who was serving a jail term for armed robbery. A sentence for armed robbery, on Daily Trust, and a jail term for armed robbery, on Leadership, are not the same phrase. 10:30am, with no space, on Leadership, and 10:30 a.m., on Daily Trust, are not the same clock. It reported ASP Saliu Oyiza Afusat, Police Public Relations Officer of the Kogi State Command, and it printed rearrest as one word. Re-arrest, with a hyphen, is Daily Trust. It reported a police situation report from the Okene Divisional Police Headquarters said the escape was reported at about 10:30am on Sunday through a telephone call from the Officer-in-Charge, that the two convicted inmates escaped through the rear perimeter fence, and that photographs of the fleeing inmates were attached to the report. It quoted the situation report: "Be informed you that today Sunday 08/11/2026 at about 1030hrs, information was received through a telephone call from the Officer in Charge Okene Correctional Centre, reporting the escape of two convicted inmates." Be informed you, 08/11/2026, and 1030hrs are Leadership. They are not on the Daily Trust page fetched here. The names of the two men are not inside that quotation. Leadership also quoted the caution that the statement is the first and only official statement she has made, in one sentence. Daily Trust breaks that caution across the quotation. Punch, by Solomon Odeniyi, November 10, 2026, at 2:13 pm, with no zone, reported the Nigerian Correctional Service said two inmates escaped from the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Okene, Kogi State, on Sunday, November 8, 2026. It does not print Samson David. It does not print Salvation Moro. It does not print theft, armed robbery, a fence, or 10:30. Medium Security Custodial Centre, on Punch, and Okene Correctional Centre, on Daily Trust and on Leadership, are not the same name.

Punch reported a Tuesday statement by the Service's Public Relations Officer, Chief Superintendent of Corrections Jane Osuji. It printed NCos in the sentence that said the service had begun action with other security agencies, and NCoS inside the quotation that confirms the escape. NCos and NCoS are both on that page. It quoted her that the service has commenced necessary actions in collaboration with relevant security agencies to ensure the prompt recapture of the fleeing inmates, and that a comprehensive report is being awaited to establish the circumstances surrounding the escape. Recapture, on Punch, re-arrest, on Daily Trust, and rearrest, on Leadership, are not the same word. The page then says, of that comprehensive-report quotation, "he said." It says, of the Controller-General's order for a thorough investigation, "According to her." He said, and according to her, are both on that page, about the same spokesperson. Jane Osuji is Punch. She is not on the Daily Trust page or the Leadership page fetched here. ASP Saliu Oyiza Afusat is Daily Trust and Leadership. She is not on the Punch page fetched here. A police confirmation, on Daily Trust and on Leadership, and a Nigerian Correctional Service confirmation, on Punch, are not the same office. Punch reported the Controller-General of Corrections directed that the incident be thoroughly investigated to identify any lapses, and that the service said all appropriate measures are being taken to rearrest the fleeing inmates. The investigation order is Punch. It is not on the Daily Trust page or the Leadership page fetched here. Punch also reported an October 2026 escape of an awaiting-trial inmate identified as Thomas from the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Auchi, in Edo State. That Auchi sentence is Punch. It is not on the other two pages. Leadership reported photographs of the fleeing inmates were attached to the police situation report. The frame published with that story shows two adult men in checkered custodial uniforms. It does not print which man is Samson David and which is Salvation Moro. Daily Trust's page image is a hand on bars. It was not saved. No age is printed for either man on the pages used here. Tuesday's statements are a search for two convicted inmates those pages say left on Sunday. They are not a new charge. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
