The Katsina Command of the Nigeria Correctional Services, NCoS, has recaptured the two inmates who escaped from the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Katsina, in October.

One of the fugitives,  Ibrahim Muhammad-Lawal, alias Abba Kala, was arrested shortly after their escape while the other, Musa Isah, was arrested on Tuesday in Kaduna.

This was confirmed by the spokesman of the command, ASC Najib Idris, on Wednesday in Katsina.

The two inmates were awaiting trial for alleged robbery when they escaped.

“A search party was immediately constituted in collaboration with sister security agencies, and this led to the arrest of one of the fugitives, Lawal Ibrahim Muhammad-Lawal, also called ‘Abba Kala’.

“In order to recapture the remaining one, the Service deployed its e-tracking mechanism as well as overt and covert intelligence gathering.
