THE drama over the escape of a top Boko Haram commander, Mohammed
Sani, from police custody continued at the weekend with the police
authorities admitting that the wanted Boko Haram man actually escaped in
November 2012.
The police had denied that Sani, described as a major commander of
the dreaded Islamic sect, escaped last year, but the force came up later
to declare that it was setting up investigators to check out the manner
of his escape.
It was, however, 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 confirmed that Mohammed Sani escaped police
custody because of the failure of some men on duty to checkmate his
disappearance.
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.
