ZAMBOANGA CITY — Police and Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) personnel have launched a manhunt to recapture a prisoner who bolted out of a penal facility in this city on New Year’s Eve.
Senior Insp. Shellamie Chang, Zamboanga City Police Office information officer, on Wednesday identified the fugitive as Irebert Baba, who escaped from the San Ramon Prison and Penal Farm in Barangay Talisayan.
Chang said Baba, a convicted car thief, was discovered to have escaped when an accounting of detainees was held at about 3 p.m. on December 31.
Baba was detained at the facility’s medium security sector.
