BBC: A key suspect in the Christmas Day bombing which killed at least 38 people in Nigeria has escaped from custody, police have admitted. Kabiru Sokoto - believed to be a member of the Islamist sect Boko Haram - was arrested on Saturday in the capital Abuja after police trailed him. But the very next day he escaped as police attempted to search his house outside the capital.
GRN correspondent Felix Onuah in Abuja is available for coverage.
