The minister of Interior Rauf Aregbesola has called on the Nigeria Correctional Service NCOS to spare no effort in ensuring that all escaped inmates are arrested and brought back into custody.
He made the call at the opening of two day retreat for senior management staff of the service in Sokoto state.
Aregbesola directed that as the officers deliberate, strategize, and set target for the next five years, they must ensure the biodata of all inmates were harmonized with sister agencies, the Nigeria financial unit NFIU, banks and the Interpol to track all escaped inmates.
The minister said the strategies and deliberations at the retreat should be centred around solutions for recapturing all escaped inmates to safeguard communities that may become prey to the criminal activities of escaped inmates.
