Rauf Aregbesola, the Minister of Interior, has said that the
outcome of the investigative report of the attacks on Owerri Custodial Centre
would shock Nigerians.
Recall that the state prison facilities and police
headquarters in Oweri, the Imo State capital came under attack by unknown
gunmen on April 5.
Aregbesola said the attack was the worst of its kind in the
history of the country
The former Governor spoke at the headquarters of the
Nigerian Correctional Service, NCS, Abuja on Sunday while addressing squadron
commanders.
“Let me say it loud and clear here when the investigation is
concluded, Nigerians would know the roles played even by our officers in
Owerri.
“But I must give kudos to our personnel in Bauchi Kano and
Lagos (Ikoyi) for their gallantry in frustrating attempts by intruders to
attack our facilities. They did not allow small, small things to sway them from
doing their jobs,” Aregbesola said.
Speaking further, the minister warned that the President
Muhammadu Buhari government would no longer tolerate any form of “successful”
attacks on prison facilities.
Aregbesola called on the squadron commanders to apply
maximum force in defending prison facilities across the country.
