Confirming the incident on Wednesday, October 25, the controller of correctional services in Katsina, Muhammad Abdulmumini Haruna, said security operatives have arrested one of the escapees.
Haruna said: “It is not something new for crime suspects to escape from the custody of security agents. We have seen that with the police and even the army who could shoot on the spot.
“So, it is true that two persons who are awaiting trial sneaked out of the correctional centre. But I have informed our sister security agencies and even shared the information with motor parks, and fortunately, we have rearrested one while we are on the pursuit of the other.”
