Defend custodial centres, Aregbesola tells squadron commanders Adelani Adepegba, Abuja Adelani Adepegba, Abuja Published 30 April 2021 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.
