Bodies collected after 129 killed in attempted DR Congo prison break | ABS-CBN News

In video clips shared on social media released on Monday (September 2), men, some wailing, could be seen picking up the bodies of deceased inmates who attempted to escape prison, and loading them into the backs of vehicles. Reuters was able to confirm the location from nearby buildings, walls, road layout, and observation tower that match satellite imagery. The date could not be verified. Democratic Republic of Congo's government said at least 129 people were killed while trying to escape from the central Makala prison in the capital Kinshasa early on Monday, adding that the situation was now under control. In a statement posted on X early on Tuesday (September 3), Interior Minister Shabani Lukoo said a fire had also broken out in the jail's administrative building, its food depots and a hospital. Some 59 people were wounded, he added. Earlier, a prison official had said no prisoners had succeeded in escaping, adding that those who tried to escape had been killed. The government was investigating the incident. The break out attempt occurred around 2:00 a.m. (0100 GMT) on Monday. Prisoners told Reuters they had heard heavy gunfire, as well as sounds of prisoners outside. -Report from Reuters For more ABS-CBN News videos, click the link below:    • ABS-CBN News   For more Breaking News & Live Coverage videos, click the link below:    • Breaking News & Live Coverage   For more latest news and analysis from ABS-CBN News videos, click the link below:    • The latest news and analysis from ABS-CBN ...   For more News Digital News Raw Cuts, click the link below:    • News Digital Raw Cuts   Subscribe to the ABS-CBN News channel! - http://bit.ly/TheABSCBNNews Watch full episodes on iWantTFC for FREE here: http://iwanttfc.com Visit our website at http://news.abs-cbn.com Facebook:   / abscbnnews   Twitter:   / abscbnnews   Instagram:   / abscbnnews   #Congo #LatestNews #ABSCBNNews
