Serial jail breaker rearrested after 12th escape

Senegalese serial jail breaker, Baye Modou Fall, who escaped on

Saturday from a prison in the capital Dakar, has been rearrested.

It was his 12th jailbreak from Senegalese prisons, local media report.

He was captured in Moussala in the east of the country near

the Malian border, a spokesman for Senegal’s

gendarmerie told the AFP news agency.

The 32-year-old, known as the ‘Escape Ace’, told local TV on Monday

that he had escaped because the legal process

was taking too long and he had been denied bail.
