Security Service.

Ismail was subsequently held in Kaduna
Central prison from where she was transferred to Hadejia prison before she
escaped six years ago.
In July 2011, the Supreme Court upheld
the sentence of the lower courts that sentenced her to death by hanging.
The court found her guilty for drugging
and drowning Ibrahim in 2002 in Kano. Rabi who was 39 years old when she
escaped six years ago, had lured Ibrahim to a picnic at Tiga Dam, where she
poisoned him with chocolate and pushed him into the dam.
The Controller General of Prisons
expressed appreciation to the assistance rendered by security agencies
particularly the SSS and the police in arresting the fugitive.
He appealed to members of the public to
continue to provide useful information on escapees and indeed any criminal
element in their midst to security agents, noting that such outlaws pose
security threats to the society.
