Why Top Boko Haram Commander Escaped – Police
Contrary
to the straight face put up by the Nigeria Police Headquarters that no
detainee by the name ‘Muhammed Sani’ was in its custody or any of its
detainees was on the run, fresh facts have emerged over the weekend that
indeed, a top Boko Haram commander by that name escaped from police
custody in November 2012.
It was confirmed at the weekend that a police document sent to the
Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) B Department by the leading
investigator of the escape, Superintendent Saidu Sani, confirmed that
Mohammed Sani, said to be connected to a number of bombings in Abuja and
Niger State, actually escaped from police custody on 10 November, 2012.
The investigation report further confirmed that the failure of some
men on duty, led to the escape of the suspect who has since disappeared
into thin air.
Commander of the Police Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Saidu
Sani, who reported the escape from police custody, said that his men who
were on Mohammed Sani failed to monitor the man closely.
He said having placed Mohammed under scrutiny, his men failed to
strictly follow the measures he put in place to stop the escape.
He, however, said that he needed time to look for the man and that he would re-arrest him within 14 days.
