The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) says it recorded zero jailbreaks and attacks in all 253 custodial centres across the country in 2023.
The spokesman, Abubakar Umar, an assistant controller of corrections (ACC), disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Abuja.
Mr Umar said that the government had taken comprehensive measures to bolster the security of the facilities and effectively counteract any potential threats, whether originating from internal or external sources.
