Maiduguri Flood: Police Capture Escaped Convict in Borno
Maiduguri Flood: Police Capture Escaped Convict in Borno
The Borno State Police Command has successfully rearrested Abubakar Mohammed, 27, who had escaped from custody while serving a sentence for culpable homicide. Mohammed and several others fled from the medium-security Custodial Center in Maiduguri following severe flooding that damaged the facility.
On September 15, 2024, a resident of Bulakara Ward in Gubio LGA spotted Mohammed in Gubio town and alerted the police. The flood had caused the prison fence to collapse, facilitating his escape. A police patrol team quickly responded to the tip-off and apprehended the fugitive.
Mohammed will be returned to the Nigerian Correctional Service, and efforts are underway to find any other escaped convicts. The Borno State Police Command remains dedicated to public safety and encourages citizens to report any suspicious activities to assist in their efforts, as stated by SP Ahmed Mohammed Wakil, the Police Public Relations Officer for Borno State.
