  1. What’s going on in this country, how possible a suspect will escape from the police custody. IGP should intervene and call for arrest and prosecution of those involve. I see this as a stage play.

  2. It baffles me when hearing news like this. At this stage, all the heads of the security agencies should be restructured because someone will be asking himself that how would a suspect escape from security agency custodian, it’s called for interrogation. I can’t say wether they have taken something from the suspect.

  3. Hmmm!!! I smell rat..o
    How can a suspect that is unarmed just escape like that from the police custody. I do not believe this
    They should look for him and bring him back immediately without any delay
    We are all waiting and watching as events unfold

  4. Seriously
    He would just escape from the police custody unarmed.
    How did he find his way out?
    Was he working there?.they should get that boy and stop all this long strong..

  5. Only him a killer and ritualist,and his just 19 years old.
    God the world is coming to an end.
    No small child in this world again.
