Kuje prison attack: NDLEA arrests wanted terrorist with drugs in Abuja

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a terror suspect who escaped from the Kuje prison.

Recall that terrorists had attacked the center and freed inmates including 64 of their members held in the custody last week Tuesday night.

The NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, who confirmed this in a statement, said the fleeing terrorist, Suleiman Sidi was arrested in the early hours of Monday in Abuja.

Sidi was nabbed at the Area 1 motor park while attempting to board a commercial vehicle to Maiduguri, Borno State.

Upon search by NDLEA operatives, he was caught with wraps of cannabis Sativa.

During the preliminary interview, the terror suspect confirmed he was remanded at the Medium Security Correctional Centre in Kuje.

Sidi is facing charges bordering on terrorism and robbery.

NDLEA Chairman, Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa (Retd) has directed his transfer to the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
