This followed the attack on the correction facility in the state capital by a
yet-to-be-identified group of gunmen on Sunday.
Ubah Ogaba, who is the Police Public Relations Officer in the state,
confirmed the rearrest of the inmates while briefing reporters on
Monday.
He revealed that the Commissioner of Police in Plateau, Bartholomew
Onyeka, led reinforcement to the scene of the incident.
The police commissioner, Ogaba stated, directed that the entire area be
cordoned off following reports that the centre was attacked by gunmen,
leading to the escape of some inmates there.
According to the command’s spokesman in a statement earlier, the
police immediately began a stop and search operation which led to the
rearrest of seven escapees.
While the rearrested inmates are in custody, another person who escaped
from the centre is said to have voluntarily surrendered himself to the
police.
