Two fleeing inmates of the Kuje Correctional Centre in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja, have been arrested in Adamawa State.

The Adamawa State Police Command said on Monday that it arrested the two inmates who were among those who fled the Kuje facility following a jailbreak last year.

The command’s public relations officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, identified the two fugitives as Atiku Ibrahim, 37, and Adamu Ibrahim, 40.

It can be recalls that no less than 879 inmates escaped during the July 5, 2022, jailbreak. Hundreds of the fleeing inmates have either returned on their own or were recaptured over the months since the jailbreak.

The Islamic State of West Africa Province, ISWAP, claimed responsibility for the attack. It was later said that 64 of those who escaped were high-profile members of the sect held at the facility.
