The PPRO said Ijamu, 42, was arrested by police operatives attached to the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) of the Command after two weeks of hiding in a mosque.

He explained that the suspect hails from Apa Local Government Area of Benue State but resides along Mandela road, Minna, the capital of Niger State.

“The inmate was arrested in his residence in Minna and during interrogation; he confessed that he escaped from the custodial facility during the attack along with other inmates while he escaped further to Lapai area where he stayed in a Mosque for about two weeks before he arrived Minna on 28/07/2022.

“The suspect claimed that he was arrested in Abuja since 2020 for the offence of criminal conspiracy, armed robbery and receiving stolen property and he was remanded in the facility for the above mentioned offence he committed,” Abiodun revealed.
