The Nigeria Police has dismissed Zakari Biu, the police officer that allegedly facilitated the escape of Kabiru Sokoto who was suspected to have coordinated the Christmas day bombing at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church, Madala, Niger State which claimed 44 lives and left several others injured.

According to a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer of the Police Service Commission, the PSC after its investigation found Biu culpable in the events that led to the escape of Kabiru Sokoto and therefore dismissed him from the police service.

This will be the second time that Mr. Biu would be officially dismissed from service. He was dismissed after being indicted for human rights violations during the era of the late General Sani Abacha.
