Nearly 100 escape from Ivory Coast prison

‘Almost 100 inmates escaped from a prison in the Ivory Coast on Sunday, the latest in a string of jailbreaks in the West African country, officials said.
According to a local judicial source, the men who escaped in the central town of Katiola were followers of the late leader of a prison mutiny last year, Coulibaly Yacouba.
Yacouba, otherwise known as “Yacou le Chinois” (“Yacou the Chinese”), was killed in February 2016 during an attempted jailbreak at Ivory Coast’s main detention center in Abidjan. Ten people died, including a guard, and 21 others were injured.
Yacouba had been locked up since 2012 on charges of “assassination and murder” and led the prison mutiny with a Kalashnikov in hand and another slung across his shoulder.’
