The Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS) has dismissed reports that Peter Nwachukwu, husband of the late gospel singer, Osinachi, and a suspected kidnap kingpin, Hamisu Bala (a.k.a. Wadume), escaped from custody during July 5 jailbreak at Kuje Custodial Centre, Abuja.

The Public Relations Officer, FCT Command, NCoS, Mr Chukwuedo Humphrey, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja that the two inmates are still in custody.

Some media reports had claimed that Osinachi’s husband and Wadume escaped during July 5 terrorists’ attack on the custodial centre.

NAN reports that terrorists, who attacked the custodial centre, freed about 879 inmates.

Humphrey said that the clarification became necessary in view of a  publication by an online medium alleging that Wadume and Osinachi’s husband escaped.

“The story is false, reckless and mischievous.They are still in custody.

“Efforts are ongoing to recapture all fleeing inmates.

“The Controller-General, NCoS, Haliru Nababa, is determined to continue to upscale inmates’ welfare and safety, ” he said.

NAN reports that a Federal Capital Territory High Court had ordered the remand of  Osinachi’s husband at the custodial centre in connection with the singer’s death in April.

Hamisu Bala was arrested in August 2019 by the Intelligence Response Team over alleged supply of arms and ammunition to terrorists.

He however did not say whether or not it was reckless, unpatriotic for NCoS to have permitted up to five jailbreak in the country and in particular,  the destruction and escape 9f detained terrorists in Kuje without visible resistance or immediate hot chase of the terrorists(NAN).
