Mexico is offering a 3 million dollar reward for information leading to the arrest of the worlds most notorious drug lord “El Chapo” Guzman.

His dramatic escape on Saturday via a tunnel more than a kilometre long dug under the prison has pointed to collusion from prison officers.

So far 31 prison officials have been taken in for questioning.
