The Nigerian police have announced the re-arrest of four prisoners who escaped from the Oko Prison during the #EndSARS protests.
The Force
Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, made this known on Monday during a parade
of suspects at its tactical unit in Abuja.
Mr Mba while
parading the over 15 suspects said they were linked with cases of armed
robbery, car theft, unlawful possession of weapons, illegal dealing and selling
of weapons.
He gave the
names of the escaped prisoners as Adebayo Opeyemi, Oloride Benjamin, Peter
Osas, Hudu Musa and Frank Odion.
While Mr
Opeyemi is a dismissed soldier, Mr Benjamin was convicted and sentenced to
death and Mr Musa had nine months remaining to serve out his prison term.
Mr Mba said
the convicts have snatched a total of four vehicles since their escape.
He also said
Mr Benjamin snatched a vehicle 30mins after he escaped because he needed to
leave Benin City.
