An unconfirmed report has it that fleeing suspected Boko Haram bomber, Kabir Sokoto, has been rearrested at the Nigeria-Chad border.

Rumours in Abuja and a number of posts on Twitter said he was caught in unclear circumstances.

However, the spokesman for the Nigeria Police Force, Mr. Olusola Amore, said he had not been briefed.

He promised to issue a statement if the story was found to be true.

However, some bloggers on Twitter expressed doubts that the real suspect was caught, especially as no picture of the alleged bomber has ever been released by the police.

Sokoto, who is suspected to have masterminded the Christams Day 2011 bomb blast at the St. Theresa’s Catholic Church in Madalla, Niger State, escaped from a police van last week while he was being taken to his residence for a search.

President Goodluck Jonathan had on Wednesday reporttedly given the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Hafiz Ringim, 24 hours to produce the suspect or be sacked.

The Minister of Police Affairs, Mr. Caleb Olubolade, told newsmen after the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja on Wednesday that Ringim had been queried over the suspect’s escape.

A number of senior police officers, including the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, Mr. Zakari Biu, have been reportedly placed under house arrest and suspended for involvement in the incident.

More details later.

Action film!

What about the 50 million reward announced for his capture last night  

^
Dunno bruv, but if the story is true, then somebody definitely knew exactly where the punk would be and what his plans were. I guess that kinda negates the 50milla reward dosh. Questions and yet more questions would need to be asked off our police force.

24 hour ultimatum? Hmmmm! --Beaf scratches head--

If this is true,I strongly implore GEJ to issue another 24hour ultimatum for the arrest of the leader

How true is this? Can someone please confirm.

^
Several news websites are carrying the story as breaking news, we should have a clearer picture by noon.

Well if this true.Ringim and his cohorts should be brought in for questioning.

How is this a breaking news when pointblank reported since 5pm yesterday?The news is false
