The JTF commander, therefore, solicited appealed to the people
not to hesitate to provide useful information that would lead to
the re-arrest of the remaining inmates still at large.
According to him, the rearrested inmate would be handed over to
the Plateau State Command of the Nigeria Correctional Service for
necessary action.

premises, has since been handed over to authorities of the Nigeria
Correctional Service in Plateau State.
