The Department of State Services (DSS) has recaptured a wanted terrorist, Abdulazeez Obadaki, one of the inmates who escaped during the Kuje prison break in the federal capital territory (FCT), in July 2022.
Over 800 inmates, including Boko Haram suspects who were held in the facility, escaped when insurgents attacked the prison.
Obadaki masterminded the attacks on banks in Uromi, Edo state and fatal shooting at Deeper Life College Okene in Kogi state, both in 2022.

It took too long a time for them to get him arrested. Why it was so must equally be investigated.
We have skewed employment in the DSS that employed 80% Northerners under Buhari. Can there be patriotism in an organization that visited great disparity in jobs opportunities?

Suddenly, every law enforcement agency has started acting busy “arresting terrorists” ever since Trump’s bold statement last week.

Are citizens supposed to be feel safer at this recapture knowing that this terrorist will soon be deemed repentant and released @aonanuga1956

Kudos to the Department of State Services (DSS) on their remarkable achievement in recapturing Abdulazeez Obadaki, the notorious Ansaru terrorist who escaped from Kuje prison. Your tireless efforts and dedication to maintaining internal security in Nigeria are truly commendable. Well done, DSS! Keep up the excellent work

BACKGROUND
Deeper Life Bible Church shooting, Otite, Kogi State
On 7 August 2012, a mass shooting occurred at Deeper Life, an evangelical Christian church near Okene in Nigeria’s central Kogi State. Three unidentified gunmen killed 19 people, including the church’s pastor.
The following day, in an apparent reprisal killing, three gunmen on motorcycles killed two soldiers and a civilian outside a mosque in Okene.
