A top Boko
Haram commander, Sani
Mohammed has reportedly
escaped from police custody in
Abuja on Thursday.
The suspect who was arrested
with another Boko Haram strong
man, Kabir Sokoto in January,
2012, allegedly escaped from the
cell where he was kept with
other terror suspects.
Though, the Force Headquarters
claimed that no terror suspect
escaped, security sources
confirmed that Mohammed
absconded from custody. The
details of his escape was
however sketchy as at the time
of filing this report.
Recall that a similar incident
happened early this year when
Sokoto, the alleged mastermind
of the Christmas Day bombing of
Saint Theresa Catholic Church,
Madalla, Niger State, escaped
from police custody at Abaji, a
satellite town in the Federal
Capital Territory.
Arrested at the Borno State
Governor’s Lodge, Abuja, Sokoto
was said to have escaped while
being taken for a search of his
apartment 24 hours later.
