Gun runner escapes from police custody again•Inspector, 9 others in trouble

Written by Jacob Segun Olatunji and Kolawole Daniel, Abuja Sunday, 04 March 2012
 
A suspected gun runner recently ar-rested in Abuja, with large cache of arms and ammunition has escaped from the police custody again.

 
Already, a police Inspector and nine other ranks and file said to be on duty at the time of the escape at the Garki Police Station, Abuja, have been detained and were undergoing intensive interrogation .
 
Sunday Tribune further learnt that the arrested police officers were moved to the FCT Police Command Criminal Investigation Department, C.I.D, for further questioning at the weekend.
 
According to our source, “this is not a good time in the annal of the Nigeria Police’s records, we are yet to come out of the scenario created by the escape of the 25 December, 2011 Madalla bomb blast suspect, Kabiru Sokoto, who escaped from our custody but was later rearrested by the Department Of the State Security (DSS), this one came up again. How are we going to explain this to the public? Indeed we are in trouble.”
 
Sunday Tribune learnt that the suspected officers have made several statements since the incident happened and they all denied knowledge of the escape.
 
“We are trying to unravel the mystery behind the escape, is it possible for them to say they don’t know the time such a high profile suspect escaped from custody ?, why do we have station officers?, why do we have station guards and officers and men at our counters?
 
The source further hinted that some senior officers at the Garki Police Station had already been queried over the development.
 
When contacted the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Moshood Jimoh, confirmed that there was something like that and promised to carry out further investigation over the matter to enable him get back to our reporter.
 
However, a Senior Officer in the Command who did not want his name in print confirmed the story saying “it is true but it is a bad image for the police.”
 
Only recently, the most wanted Boko Haram kingpin, Kabiru Sokoto escaped from Police Custody in Abaji, a suburb of Abuja, which led to the dismissal of Mr Zakari Biu, a Commissioner of Police who was in charge of the case and the sack of Mr Hafiz Ringim as the Inspector General Of Police.
