A top Boko Haram commander, Sani Mohammed has reportedly escaped from police custody in Abuja on Thursday.
The suspect who was arrested with another Boko Haram operative, Kabir Sokoto in January, 2012, allegedly escaped from the cell where he was kept with other terror suspects.
Though, the Force Headquarters claimed that no terror suspect escaped, security sources confirmed that Mohammed absconded from custody.
The details of his escape was however sketchy as at the time of filing this report.
A similar incident happened early this year when Sokoto, the alleged mastermind of the Christmas Day bombing of Saint Theresa Catholic Church, Madalla, Niger State, escaped from police custody at Abaji, a satellite town in the Federal Capital Territory.
Arrested at the Borno State Governor’s Lodge, Abuja, Sokoto was said to have escaped while being taken for a search of his apartment 24 hours later.
But Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, said no terror suspect escaped from its custody, adding that a check of its records showed no such name as Mohammed on its list of detainees.
He said, “The police authority hereby informs the public that the information being circulated by TV Station is totally untrue and should be disregarded in its entirety.”

How can a suspect escape without being aided. I think its incresingly becoming clear that FG may have a hand in this Boko Haram issue for how will become imposible to curb their menace. Buhari rightly pointed out that, with all its resources, security gadgets and man power, the FG can or should i say should be able to crush any criminal activity except ofcourse if the will to do so is absent. God bless the General, Alh. Muhammadu Buhari, God bless Nigeria.
