The Borno State Police Command has re-arrested Kyari Kur, a convict who escaped from the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Maiduguri following a flood-induced collapse of part of the facility’s perimeter fence in September.
Kur, also known as Henry, was apprehended on Thursday after officers at the Gubio Divisional Headquarters acted on credible intelligence regarding his movements.
In a statement on Friday, the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Nahum Daso, confirmed the arrest and noted that the police swiftly apprehended Kur in Gubio town.
“The Police Command in Borno State, under the leadership of Commissioner of Police Mohammed Lawal-Yusufu, confirms that the convict has been profiled and will be handed back to the Nigeria Correctional Service for further action,” the statement read.
ASP Daso reiterated the police’s commitment to ensuring public safety and justice while thanking the public for their cooperation in providing timely information.
