Police spokesperson in the State, SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa disclosed this in a statement Friday.
TheFact Daily gathers that the prison escapee, identified as Abubakar Mohammed Sadiq, aged 25 years, was arrested on 23 September, 2022, at Rangaza Quarters, Ungogo LGA of Kano State.
According to Kiyawa, the arrest was made by a team of Operation Restore Peace operatives attached to the Command’s Criminal Investigation Department, and was based on credible and sustained
intelligence gathering.
