The Police in Borno State have successfully recaptured 24-year-old Auwalu Aminu, also known as Auwalu Kirkir.
Aminu is an escaped convict who has been serving a jail term for criminal conspiracy and theft.
A statement from the command’s spokesman, ASP Nahum Daso, on Wednesday, revealed that Aminu was among the inmates who escaped from the Medium Security Custodian Center in Maiduguri following a jailbreak triggered by the collapse of the prison’s fence during the catastrophic flood in September.
Daso said that the police received a credible tip-off that Aminu had been sighted in Banki town, a situation that motivated the Bama Area Command, Banki Divisional Headquarters, to promptly deploy a patrol team.
“Aminu was successfully apprehended on October 16, and is now in the police custody,” he stated
According to the PPRO, the escaped convict has been profiled and would be handed over to the Nigeria Correctional Service for further action.
He also mentioned that Commissioner of Police, CP Mohammed Lawal-Yusufu, reaffirmed the police’s dedication to public safety and encouraged the public to report any suspicious activities or information regarding fugitives.
