In five months 3,837 prisoners have been illegally freed from Nigeria correctional centres. In five months, 10 correctional centres have been attacked. In November, 2020 while counting the costs of the #EndSARS protests, Information Minister Lai Mohammed had said eight prisons were attacked, “with 1,957 inmates set free and 31 staff injured.” But Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has assured that the federal government would strengthen security at correctional centres across the country. Osinbajo gave the assurance while addressing newsmen at the Owerri Custodial Centre, Imo state, after inspecting the facility to ascertain the extent of damage by hoodlums who attacked the centre on Monday, April 5, 2021.
