The Borno State Police Command has successfully re-arrested an escaped convict, Abubakar Mohammed, 27, who had been serving a prison sentence for culpable homicide before escaping from the Medium Security Custodial Center in Maiduguri.
A statement issued on Tuesday by the spokesman of the Borno State Command, Ahmed Wakil, revealed that the convict escaped following the collapse of the center’s fence during the recent floods in Maiduguri.
“On September 15, 2024, at around 3:00 p.m., a vigilant resident of Bulakara Ward in Gubio Local Government Area spotted Abubakar in Gubio town and immediately alerted the authorities.
“In response to the tip-off, a police patrol team swiftly apprehended the escaped convict. Abubakar is now set to be handed back to the Nigerian Correctional Service,” the statement said.
The Command stated that efforts are ongoing to locate other escapees in the area while urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
