DSS Recaptures Notorious Terrorist Who Escaped Kuje Prison In 2022
The Department of State Services says it has recaptured a wanted terrorist, Abdulazeez Obadaki.
Obadaki is said to be one of the inmates who escaped during the Kuje prison break in the Federal Capital Territory in July 2022.
He was also reported to have masterminded attacks on banks in Uromi, Edo State, and a fatal shooting at Deeper Life College, Okene, in Kogi State, both in 2022.
Recall that more than 800 inmates, including Boko Haram suspects held at the facility, escaped when insurgents attacked the prison.
The SSS said its operatives recaptured Mr Obadaki in a “well-oiled intelligence operation” on Friday morning. It did not share the details of the arrest.
The secret police said Mr Obadaki confessed to “orchestrating the Kuje Custodial centre jailbreak following his transfer from Kabba Custodial Centre in June 2022.”
