Notorious kidnapper, vandal ‘mysteriously’ escape from police cell in Kogi, two officers suspected
Two suspects in the custody of Nigeria Police in Egume station, Dekina council area of Kogi State are said to have escaped from their cell on new year eves.
The duo, an alleged kidnapper who recently killed his victim and was transferred from Lokoja to Egume police station, and an electrical vandal were said to have left their cell ‘mysteriously’.
The alleged kidnapper were said to have conspired and beat all the security outfits of the police to make good their escape from their cell.
It was gathered that the activities of this vandal have on several occasions thrown Egume Community into darkness due to incessant theft of transformer components and copper wires within Egume metropolis.
While the people of the area were enthusiastically expecting thorough investigation and justice on the arrested culprits to serve as a deterrent to others in the community, they were sadly informed on 1st January 2022 that the culprit escaped from the Police custody on the eve of the new year.
The development has infuriated the chairman of the council, Mr Gowon Omale who frowned at the suspected foul play in the entire exercise saying that the officer at the gate was not there as at the time other officers were shouting for a closure of the gate when it was noticed that the suspects were on rampage.
Omale suspected a foul play among the two Police inspectors, Yunusa and Atabor whom he believed conspired with the escapees.
