The Borno State Police Command has re-arrested one Kyari Kur, a convict who escaped from Maiduguri’s Medium Security Custodial Centre.
Kur, also known as Henry, fled the facility in September after a portion of the perimeter fence fell owing to a significant flood occurrence.
ASP Nahum Daso, the Borno command’s Police Public Relations Officer, stated that Kur was detained on Thursday after police at Gubio Divisional Headquarters received credible information regarding his movements.
Daso said in a statement on Friday that police responded quickly and detained the convict in Gubio town.

“The Police remain committed to ensuring public safety and justice.
“We appreciate the public’s cooperation and urge them to continue providing timely information,” ASP Daso stated.
