The Borno State Police Command, led by Commissioner of Police CP Mohammed Lawal Yusufu, has successfully re-arrested a 24-year-old escaped convict, Auwalu Aminu, also known as “Auwalu Kirkir.”
Aminu, originally convicted for criminal conspiracy and theft, escaped from the Medium Security Custodian Center in Maiduguri after a flood in September 2024 caused the facility’s fence to collapse. Following a tip-off, police surveillance at the Bama Area Command/Banki Divisional Headquarters located and swiftly apprehended Aminu in Banki town on October 16.
The convict has been re-profiled and will be handed back to the Nigeria Correctional Service. The Borno Police Command remains vigilant and urges the public to report suspicious activities to the nearest station or via provided hotlines.
