ADDIS-ABEBA, April 16 (Xinhua / GNA) – At least
92 prisoners escaped from a prison in the regional state of Gambella, in the west
Ethiopia, reported Tuesday the Ethiopian Ethiopian News Agency (ENA).
John Umod, Chief Inspector of Gambella Police
city jail, said that the prison break occurred on Monday when the guards tried
to stop a fight between inmates, reported the ENA.
A hunt for the 92 escapees and an investigation
are ongoing, said Umod, adding that the prison housed 316 detainees before
the prison break.
In September 2016, a "failed prison"
break "near the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, left at least 23 detainees
dead.
