The Nigeria Police Force has arrested Kabiru Oyedun, a 39-year-old fugitive who escaped from the Ilesa Correctional Centre in Osun State, in the Ayobo area of Lagos on Wednesday, May 21.
Oyedun was one of seven inmates who fled the facility after heavy rainfall damaged the perimeter fence on May 20.
The police confirmed the arrest, and the Lagos State Comptroller of Corrections would take custody of Oyedun for onward transfer to the Osun State Correctional Service.
A N5 million reward was offered for information leading to the recapture of the escaped inmates, and investigations are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the prison breach.
