The Borno State Police Command has re-arrested one of the convicts, Kyari Kur aka Henry, age 28, who escaped from a correctional facility in the state during the recent flooding that submerged Maiduguri, the state capital, and its environs
A statement on Friday by the state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Nahum Daso, said that the convict escaped due to the devastating flood in September 2024, which collapsed the fence of the correctional facility.
The statement read, “Kyari Kur was serving a jail term for criminal conspiracy and theft at the Medium Security Custodian Centre in Maiduguri. Unfortunately, he escaped due to the devastating flood incident in September 2024, which collapsed the fence.
“On October 10, 2024, police surveillance at Gubio divisional headquarters received a credible tip-off that Kur was sighted in Gubio town. Swiftly responding to the information, the police apprehended Kur.
“The convict has been profiled and will be handed over to the Nigeria Correctional Service for further action.”
The police spokesman, however, noted that Borno State Police Command remains committed to ensuring public safety and justice.
“We appreciate the public’s cooperation and urge them to continue providing timely information,” he said
No fewer than 281 inmates from the Maiduguri Medium Security Custodial Centre following severe flooding in the capital city.
Meanwhile, the command in September announced the re-arrest of one Abubakar Mohammed, one of the convicts who escaped from the prison during the September 10 flood.
