FG Warns #EndBadGovernance Protesters To Stay-Clear Of Custodial Centres

The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), has warned intending protesters for the #EndBadGovernance protests starting on August 1 to stay clear of the countryโ€™s custodial centres.

The NCoS gave this warning in a statement by its spokesman, Abubakar Danlami Umar, in Abuja on Tuesday.

Recall that #EndSARS protests in October 2020ย turned violent when a crowd ย stormed a prison and freed some 200ย inmates in Benin the Edo State capital.

โ€œThe Nigerian Correctional Service wishes to inform the public that the Custodial Centres have been designated as red zones; therefore, any person or group of persons who have no business whatsoever should steer clear.

โ€œFurthermore, the Service wishes to enjoin the public that Custodial and Non-custodial Centres are critical national assets which are germane to public safety as well as national security. Tampering with or attacking them will lead to a breakdown of law and order, and further exacerbate the security of the society in general.

โ€œThe Service strongly advises all members of the public to join hands with the Service to ensure the protection of correctional facilities,โ€ the statement said in part.

It said adequate security arrangements have been implemented to ensure that no correctional facility is defiled.

โ€œThe Ministry of Interior Joint Taskforce (MOIJTF) has been activated to provide extra security in and around custodial facilities nationwide,โ€ it disclosed.

The public is also advised to report any suspicious plan or movement to its email: [email protected] โ€œor to our official website: www.corrections.gov.ng  or call 09060004598 or 08075050006 directlyโ€.
