The Prisoner k/22c Rabi Ismail was sentenced to death by hanging
for culpable homicide by a High Court in Kano on the 5th of January, 2005. She
was subsequently held in Kaduna Central prison from where she was transferred
to Hadejia prison before she escaped about 6 years ago.
The Controller General of Prisons wishes to appreciate the
assistance rendered by security agencies particularly men of the DSS and the
Police in arresting the fugitive. He appealed to members of the public to continue to provide
useful information on escapees and indeed any criminal element in their midst
to security agents, noting that such outlaws pose security threat to the
society.
He
assures that security measures have been strengthened to prevent persons in
prison custody from escaping. Furthermore, escapees still at large will be
fished out of their hiding no matter how long it takes to do so. Francis
