From Desmond Mgboh, Kano
The Nigeria Police in Kano on Saturday announced the arrest of one Abubakar Mohammed Sadiq, suspected to have escaped from Kuje prison in Abuja during the recent jailbreak.
A statement issued at the weekend by the command’s spokesperson, Superintendent Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, said his arrest followed credible information and sustained intelligence gathering.
The 25-year-old suspect who resides at Badarawa Quarters, Kaduna North LGA, Kaduna State was nabbed at Rangaza Quarters, Ungogo LGA, Kano State a few days ago.
The statement disclosed that the Commissioner of Police had since directed that the suspected escapee be handed over to the authorities of the Nigerian Correctional Service for further action.
The commissioner appreciated Kano State residents for their continuous support, encouragement and cooperation.
He urged them to continue to pray for the state, and the nation and to report any suspicious incident to the nearest police station.
