Northfield, who works for Carnegie Minerals Plc, was detained by local authorities in February and accused of illegally mining uranium commercially using the company's license for excavating mineral sands, the newspaper reported. After 10 days in prison he was released without his passport on bail of 250,000 pounds ($443,000) and held under house arrest, the newspaper said. He escaped with the aid of a U.K. private security company, who smuggled him in vehicles and on foot through bush and jungle to reach the Senegalese capital of Dakar, the Telegraph added.
