Had plans gone according to script, three terror suspects who escaped from Kamiti Maximum Prison could still be on the run. Their aborted jailbreak will, however, go down in history as a daring one, akin to that engineered by three Italian prisoners of war (POWs). On return to the camp, to the astonishment of British camp commandant, Benuzzi, Balleto and Arsotti were honoured for their heroisms. Woe unto Abdalla, Abikar and Juma; they are ruing their miscalculation after being flown back to the very prison they had successfully escaped from. Unlike the Italians who were rewarded for acts of bravery, the three Kenyans face severe punishment.
