Malaysian police launch manhunt for Nigerian escapees

Thu, 11 Nov 2010

Kuala Lumpur - Malaysian police have launched a manhunt to track down two Nigerian men who escaped while being escorted to the airport for deportation, officials said Thursday.

The suspects were riding in an immigration department vehicle en route to Kuala Lumpur International Airport late Wednesday when they escaped during a stop at a petrol station.

The duo, along with a Palestinian man, were due to be deported after they were caught with expired travel documents.

The two immigration officers who were accompanying the suspects have since been suspended pending investigation, secretary-general of the home ministry Mahmood Adam was quoted as saying by the Star newspaper.

A manhunt has been launched to track down the Nigerian men, who fled while still in handcuffs, he said. The Palestinian national did not follow them and has been deported.

Mahmood said police have photographs and thumbprints of the Nigerians.
