The Borno State Police Command has successfully re-arrested Kyari Kur, also known as Henry, a 28-year-old convict who escaped from a correctional facility during recent flooding in Maiduguri, the state capital. The flood, which occurred in September 2024, caused severe damage to the city and its surrounding areas, leading to the collapse of the correctional facility’s fence.
According to a statement released on Friday by the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Nahum Daso, Kyari Kur had been serving a jail term for criminal conspiracy and theft at the Medium Security Custodian Centre in Maiduguri. The statement detailed that the convict managed to escape when the facility’s perimeter was breached due to the severe flood.
ASP Daso highlighted the devastating impact of the flood, which submerged parts of Maiduguri and weakened the infrastructure of the correctional center. The collapse of the fence provided an opportunity for Kyari Kur and potentially other inmates to flee. However, law enforcement efforts led to his recapture, demonstrating the police’s commitment to maintaining order and ensuring justice is served.
The Borno State Police Command reaffirmed its dedication to re-arresting any other escapees and ensuring the safety and security of the state. Authorities emphasized their preparedness to address any challenges posed by natural disasters and their impact on law enforcement facilities.
The incident underscores the need for reinforced infrastructure in flood-prone areas, particularly for critical institutions like correctional facilities. The police and state government are expected to work together to prevent such breaches in the future, ensuring that even in times of crisis, security measures remain intact.
I dont understand why they bothered re-arresting him. Let the guy enjoy his freedom after surviving a flood!
I think the police should focus on preventing crimes rather than re-arresting convicts. We need a proactive approach!
Preventing crimes and catching criminals go hand in hand. Both are necessary for public safety.
I think the police should focus on preventing crimes rather than chasing after escapees. Whats the point? Priorities, people!
This whole situation is fishy. Did the police intentionally let the convict escape for some reason? 🤔 #conspiracytheory
Why bother re-arresting him? Let nature take its course. Survival of the fittest, right? 🤷♂️ #ControversialOpinions
I think maybe the convict escaped on purpose to expose corruption in the police force. Just a wild thought!

He broke the law. Consequences. Simple as that. 🤷♀️
I think the police are wasting resources on re-arresting one convict. They should focus on preventing crime instead.
I dont think they should have bothered re-arresting him. Let him enjoy his freedom after surviving that crazy flooding!
Surviving a flood doesnt excuse breaking the law. Justice should prevail regardless.
Why do they bother arresting these guys just to let them escape again? Waste of resources. Let nature take its course.
Justice must prevail, not vigilantism. Law enforcement exists for a reason. Support the system.

Preventing flooding is important, but criminals must be held accountable too. Both issues matter.
I think they shouldve let him go, he survived a flood for goodness sake. Give the man a break!
I dont get why they bothered re-arresting him. Let the guy enjoy his freedom after surviving a flood, geez.

I cant believe they caught him again! Maybe he just wanted a free swim in the floodwaters. What a wild story.

Re-arresting escapees IS preventing crimes. Catching criminals stops them from committing more offenses.
I think the convict should be given a second chance. Maybe escaping was a cry for help. Lets show some compassion.
Escape is a crime. No second chances for criminals. Justice must be served.
Is it fair to re-arrest someone who escaped during a natural disaster? What about showing some compassion in such situations?
Is it just me, or does this whole story sound like it could be a plot from a movie? Unreal!
I cant believe this guy managed to escape during a flood! Talk about luck or s? What do you all think?
Do you think the police should have better safeguards to prevent convicts from escaping during natural disasters?
Shouldnt the police have better security measures to prevent convicts from escaping during natural disasters? Its a serious concern.
Why couldnt they keep him in custody during a flood? Seems like a convenient escape plan! Soing fishy going on…🤔
