The police say they have
rearrested three out of six suspects who escaped custody in Kogi state on
Wednesday.
Two of the six suspects are
involved in the illegal possession of arms case preferred against Dino Melaye,
senator representing Kogi west.
They accused the senator of
arming them for robbery and kidnapping.
After the suspects escaped
custody, they were declared wanted and Ali Janga was removed as the
commissioner of police in Kogi, by Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police
(IGP).
Speaking with PUNCH on Saturday,
Janga said three of the suspects have been rearrested but he did not give their
names.
“Yes, it is confirmed, but note
that I am no longer the CP, I have been removed, so next time talk to the new
CP,” the newspaper quoted Janga as saying.
Two of the rearrested suspects
reportedly sustained gunshot injuries.
