It was gathered that Adamu had last week attempted to escape from the Infectious Disease Hospital where he is being treated
The other three suspects have tested negative to COVID- 19
Governor Rotimi Akeredolu urged the authorities of the correctional centre to immediately receive the suspects into custody as directed by the law court.

He said the state now has 16 confirmed cases with six successfully treated and discharged while nine are receiving treatment.
He said the state was dealing more with imported cases of COVID-19 than with community transmission.
On the influx of young people from some northern states, the governor said, “They are mostly destitutes and are without doubt very vulnerable to the COVID-19 infection
