The Abia State Police Command have rearrested three of the
suspects who escaped from the detention facility at the Anti-Kidnapping
Section (D7) of State CIID Umuahia on September 2.
Parading the suspects on Friday, alongside others, the
Commissioner of Police, CP Adeleye Oyebade said they made away with two
AK 47 Rifles kept outside the Armoury for quick response to emergencies,
to facilitate their escape.
"The inmates conceived the escape and nurtured it into
fruition due to the negligence/absence from duty of the policemen
scheduled for duty on that fateful day," said Oyebade.
"However, three of the escapees, viz Kingsley Anyim,
Chijioke Chukwu and Emeka Ukaegbu have been rearrested and one of the
rifles recovered.
"All the officers(also Pictured) involved in the act of
negligence/absence from duty have all been taken through the Force
approved disciplinary action process and dismissed from the Force, and
will be prosecuted. Efforts to rearrest the remaining escapees is being
intensified"
Meanwhile, Emeka Ukaegbu who was picked up today has confessed to where he kept the remaining AK47 rifle.
