Jail Break: We Lost 45 Officers To Boko Haram Attacks – Prisons Boss

No fewer than 45 prisons wardens, including senior officers, have so far been murdered during jailbreaks in various prisons formations by suspected Boko Haram insurgents.

The comptroller general of prisons, Mr Zakari Ohino Ibrahim who disclosed this during an interactive session with newsmen on the security situation in the country, said the wardens were ambushed and killed while on official duty.
While expressing regrets that inadequate workforce and continuous budgetary short falls have to a large extent stalled effective operation of the service, MrIbrahim revealed that his administration has been able to device strategies to contain cases of jail break.

The prisons boss who made a passionate appeal to the National Assembly to pass the bill seeking the review of prisons law as part of effort to address congestion in the prisons, revealed that only 69 not 6,000 babies are housed inNigeria prisons as falsely speculated across the globe.

Meanwhile, following the killings of several people in Daura by unknown gunmen last week, the House of Representatives yesterday called on the inspector-general of police, Mohammed Abubakar, to establish a counter-terrorism unit in the Daura Emirate to enable the police effectively discharge their duties in the area.
