Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has admonished squadron commanders to defend the custodial facilities under their watch with maximum force.
Aregbesola said the men should make whoever attacks correctional centres “live to regret it.”
The minister’s directive followed the attack on the Owerri Custodial Centre where over 1,884 inmates escaped from custody on April 5. There was also an attempted jailbreak at the Kano and Bauchi correctional centres.
Addressing the officers at the Nigerian Correctional Service headquarters in Abuja on Friday, the minister said custodial facilities must remain inviolable and secure.

The security agencies, led by the Ghana Police Service, last Sunday rounded up about 500 foreigners in a dawn swoop at various locations in the Bolgatanga municipality in the Upper East Region.
Preliminary investigations showed that 18 of the foreigners were Burkinabes, while the rest were Nigerians.
The two-hour swoop was led by personnel from the Upper East Regional Police Command, with support from the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) and the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB).
The Public Affairs Officer of the Upper East Regional Police Command, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mr David Fianko-Okyere, who made this known to the Daily Graphic in Bolgatanga last Sunday evening, said the foreigners were being taken through further levels of screening to ascertain the veracity of their claims to various nationalities.
