Alpha Sheriff, famously known as APC Sheriff, found himself in the hands of the residents of Gloucester after a daring escape from the male correctional center, Pademba Road Prison.

Sheriff, along with other inmates, broke free during what authorities termed an attempted coup on Sunday.

The arrest followed authorities’ announcement of a cash reward for capturing escaped prisoners and their accomplices.

This incident unfolded despite Sheriff and 8 others being previously denied bail and held at the Male Correctional Facility on Pademba Road for allegedly possessing arms without a valid license back in August.

The citizens’ swift action led to the arrest of the escaped inmates, with Sheriff now facing renewed scrutiny and legal consequences.
