Kuje Prison Attack: A fleeing Boko Haram member recaptured

The Nasarawa State Police command says it has recaptured a member of the Book Haram terrorist who recently escaped from the Kuje correctional centre whose name is Hassan Hassan.

Terrorists on Tuesday attacked the Kuje medium custodial centre in Abuja and freed over 800 inmates including members of the Boko Haram, Islamic State West African Province (ISWAP) and others.

The Federal Government has subsequently declared wanted on Friday 64 of the inmates who had terror-related charges having their names and other details published.

in a statement made by the Nasarawa State Police PRO, DSP Ramhan Nansel said the Boko Haram escapee from jail was nabbed early hours of Saturday.

The Police PRO statement reads, “Sequel to the attack on Kuje Maximum Custodial Centre and subsequent escape of inmates, on July 9th, 2022 at about 0130hrs, one Hassan Hassan ‘M’ whose name and picture was amongst the escaped inmates with Boko Haram/Terrorism Case was recaptured by the Eagle-eyed Police operatives of the Nasarawa State Police Command at Keffi.

“The Commissioner of Police, CP Adesina Soyemi has ordered for the transfer of the suspect to a safer location while an intensive search for other escapees and handing over process of the arrested inmate progresses.

“The Commissioner of Police, however, appreciated the efforts of the Police operatives for a job well done and assured members of the public of the Command’s unrelenting efforts at making the public space safer for all”.
