Wife of the alleged mastermind of the Christmas Day bombing of St.
Theresa’s Catholic Church, Madalla, Niger State, Kabiru Abubakar Dikko,
alias Kabiru Sokoto, has delivered a baby boy in a police cell where she is being detained.
The wife of the Boko Haram henchman was arrested by the police after
her husband escaped from police custody while he was being taken to his
home for a search.
Sources Friday said that she gave birth to a baby boy on Wednesday
inside a cell at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad in Garki, Abuja,
Nigeria’s capital.
Even after her husband was re-arrested at Mutum in Gassol Local
Government Area of Taraba, the pregnant woman was still kept in police
custody until she put to bed on Wednesday. Sokoto was first arrested on
13 January by the police but he escaped two days later when he was being
taken to his residence at Abaji in the FCT for a search.
Sokoto was re-arrested in a joint military-SSS operation at a hideout
at about 4:30 a.m. He had taken refuge at Umaisha in Toto Local
Government Area of Nasarawa State before he fled to Taraba where he was
eventually re-arrested.
