The commissioner said that the suspect was re-arrested at Wamba Local Government Area of Nasarawa State in April.
“In a bid to arrest all escapees of the recent Jos jail break that occurred in November last year, our operatives intensified efforts and re-arrested Mohammed Ibrahim.
“Ibrahim escaped from lawful custody of the Jos Correctional Centre and among the masterminds of the attack on the facility.
“He has been in prison awaiting trial for an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and kidnapping before he escaped,” Mr Onyeka said.
The commissioner said that the suspect would be handed over to the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) for further action.
