Maiduguri flood: Police rearrest escaped convict in Borno
The Borno State Police Command has re-arrested a convict who escaped from the medium-security custodian centre in Maiduguri following the devastating flood that ravaged the city.
The Supervising Police Public Relations Officer Northeast, SP Ahmed Mohammed Wakil, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, on behalf of the Borno State Commissioner of Police.
“The Borno State Police Command is pleased to announce the successful re-arrest of an escaped convict, Abubakar Mohammed, 27, who was serving a jail term for culpable homicide and had escaped from the medium-security custodian centre in Maiduguri,” the statement read.
“On September 15, 2024, at about 1500HRS, a resident of Bulakara Ward, Gubio LGA, alerted the police after sighting Abubakar in Gubio town following his escape from the Medium Security Custodial Center, Maiduguri, due to the collapse of the fence wall caused by a flood disaster.
“A swift response by a police patrol team, the escaped convict was apprehended.
“Abubakar will be handed over to the Nigerian Correctional Service, and efforts are ongoing to locate any other convicted felons who may be in the area.
“The command remains committed to ensuring public safety and urges members of the public to provide timely information and report any suspicious activities in their environment to support the efforts of the police.”
