Terrorism: Police beef security in A’Ibom Prisons

In a renewed proactive security measure to prevent any untoward incident, Akwa Ibom Police Commissioner ,Olatoye Durosinmi has ordered for the deployment of more policemen in all Correctional Centres located in the state.

Durosinmi who gave the order when he toured the Correctional Facilities in Uyo, Ikot Ekpene, Eket and Ikot Abasi said this has become necessary in order to prevent a reoccurrence of jailbreaks that has increased in recent times across Correctional Centres nationwide.

According to a release by the State Police Public Relations Officer, Odiko Macdon in Uyo on Tuesday, the commissioner who was accompanied in the two days tour by Mr Julius Ezugwu, State Controller of Corrections,
Nigerian Correctional Service, received first hand information of the security situation in each of the locations.

“As a preventive measure, the CP ordered for the immediate deployment of more Police Personnel to boost the security situation in each of the facilities and warned the Officers to be vigilant and courageous.

“While enjoining law abiding citizens to go about their lawful duties, he urged them to quickly report criminal and suspicious elements to Security Agencies or call any of the Command’s emergency hotlines.” The release said.

It would be recalled that more than 800 inmates including some 60 terrorists were last week freed by terrorists who invaded the Kuje Medium Correctional Centre in Abuja after they overpowered security men guarding the facility.
