Kuje Prison Attack Update! NSA, Security Chiefs Arrive Scene

The Adamawa State Police Command has arrested a 23-year-old Kuje prison escapee, Abubakar Mohammed, who was trying to cross from Adamawa to his home in Borno State.

The police said on Thursday that Abubakar had confessed to facing terrorism charges and had been at the Kuje prison since 2017 before the recent breakout from the facility.

Abubakar was picked up after days of surveillance exercise in different parts of Adamawa State by police operatives among 12 other suspects.

Of the 12 other suspects that the command also arrested, Akande said they were suspected kidnappers and armed robbers and that assorted weapons had been recovered from them.
