Nigerian drug convict, John Okoro
hehehehe........A Nigerian drug trafficker convicted in India has been caught after he escaped from his cell in India.
Okoro, 35, was re-arrested by the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) of Mumbai police.
ANC sources told The Times of India that Okoro was arrested from
the Navi Mumbai area, from where he was planning to flee to Mangalore by
a private bus.
Police source said Okoro, who resided in Koparkhairane in Navi Mumbai, was arrested in 2014 in a drug case.
The court convicted him for a three-year jail term. Okoro was sent to Nashik central prison after conviction.
Okoro was released from jail on December 31 and was to be deported
to Nigeria. He was brought to the ANC’s Azad Maidan lock up and kept on
the first floor. He was due to be deported on the day he fled.
On the pretext of going to the washroom, he jumped from the first
floor at 2 am on Monday and fled. He jumped from the balcony, crashing
through the asbestos roof and fled on foot.
The constable guarding him also leaped from the balcony in a
desperate attempt to nab him, but ended up injured. He is recovering at
the Nagpada police hospital.
An alert was immediately issued for Okoro.
“Around 2 am, Okoro told the constable on guard that he wanted
to visit the washroom. He was being taken there when he jumped from the
balcony. He landed on the asbestos roof, which immediately gave away,” a police officer said.
“He ran in the directions of Mahapalika Marg.”
