NDLEA arrests Boko-Haram suspect who escaped from Kuje prison
One of the terrorists who fled Kuje prison during last week’s invasion has been nabbed at a motor park in the nation’s capital, Daily Trust reports.
BODEX BLOG had reported how terrorists invaded the prison and released over 800 inmates, including all the Boko Haram suspects.
The Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) had claimed responsibility for the attack. The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) had released the names and pictures of the suspects.
However, on Monday, eagle eyed operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) nabbed the fleeing inmate, Suleiman Idi, at Area 1 motor park in the Federal Capital Territory.
He was attempting to board a commercial vehicle to Maiduguri, Borno state, when he was arrested, according to Femi Babafemi, NDLEA spokesman.
“During preliminary interview, the wanted terror suspect confirmed he was remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre for terrorism and robbery charges, adding that he was indeed one of the inmates who escaped from the facility last Tuesday,” Babafemi said in a statement. Three wraps of hard drugs were reportedly found on Idi.
Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd), while commending his men for the arrest, directed that the wanted suspect should be immediately handed over to NCoS.
This is the second suspect to be recaptured after the NCoS unveiled the identities of fleeing inmates.
