A Jamaican is among four illegal immigrants who escaped from a dentention centre in Trinidad, while awaiting deportation to their respective countries.
According to the Trinidad and Tobago Newsday, about 11 p.m. on Friday, a guard at the Aripo Detention Centre on making his rounds, discovered that a steel door had been forced open.
Further checks by the guard revealed that four illegal immigrants from Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana and Nigeria, had scaled the barbed wire fence and escaped into the nearby forested area.
A joint police/army/immigration search party scanned the area for the men, but were unsuccessful.
According to the Trinidad and Tobago Newsday, the escaped men had allegedly told other detainees that they were planning to escape from the detention centre and remain in Trinidad, because it provides better opportunities than their home countries and did not want to be deported.
The Trinidad and Tobago police and immigration officers are investigating how the four men were able to open the steel door.
