The Adamawa State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of two fleeing inmates of the Kuje Correctional Centre in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.
The command said on Monday, 22 May, 2023 that it arrested the two inmates who were among those who fled the Kuje facility following a jailbreak last year.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, who confirmed the arrest, identified the two fugitives as Atiku Ibrahim, 37, and Adamu Ibrahim, 40.
Recall that at least 879 inmates escaped during the July 5, 2022, jailbreak, while hundreds of the fleeing inmates have either returned on their own or were recaptured over the months since the jailbreak.
The Islamic State of West Africa Province, ISWAP, claimed responsibility for the attack. It was later said that 64 of those who escaped were high-profile members of the sect held at the facility.
