Jailbreak: NCoS begins joint interagency stimulation training

Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, has begun a joint interagency stimulation training to secure all custodial centres in the territory.

Public Relations Officer of the command, Chukwuedo Humphrey, said this in a statement in Abuja, yesterday.

Humphrey said the maiden training was conducted at the Kuje custodial centre.

He said the event involved the NCoS armed squad, military, police, civil defence and immigration service personnel.

According to him, the training was one of the strategies adopted during the last meeting of security heads in the FCT.

He said: “This is to evaluate the security situation in Kuje Custodial Centre and put adequate measures, to avoid a repeat of the unfortunate July 5, 2022 jail attack.”

Humphrey quoted the NCoS Controller, FCT Command, Ahmed Musa, as encouraging the team to work together and make custodial centres impenetrable.

The Controller advised people living around the custodial centre not to panic over sounds of gunshots during the exercise, which will be done periodically to boost alertness of personnel.
