August 08, (THEWILL) – Operatives of the Plateau State Police Command have re-arrested one Mohammed Ibrahim, one of the inmates of the Jos Custodial Centre in November 2021.
Plateau State Commissioner of Police, Bartholomew Onyeka, made this known when he paraded Ibrahim and other suspects before the media on Monday in Jos.
Onyeka said Ibrahim, 39, was re-arrested in April, 2022, by operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit in Wamba Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
“In a bid to arrest all escapees of the recent Jos jail break that occurred in November last year, our operatives intensified efforts and re-arrested Mohammed Ibrahim.
“Ibrahim escaped from lawful custody of the Jos correctional centre and among the master minds of the attack on the facility.
“He has been in prison awaiting trial for alleged case of criminal conspiracy and kidnapping before he escaped,” Onyeka said.
The commissioner said that the suspect would be handed over to the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) for further action.
Onyeka said that other suspects paraded were arrested for crimes such as kidnapping, banditry, armed robbery, criminal conspiracy and unlawful possession of firearms, among others.
He said that the suspects would be charged to court when investigation is concluded.
