Following Friday's jailbreak at Kuje medium security prison, the Minister of Interior, Lt.-Gen. Abdurahaman Dambazau has ordered immediate security beef up at all the prisons across the country.
Dambazau gave the directive in Abuja on Monday during an on-the-spot assessment of Kuje prison where two kidnap and murder suspects escaped from on Friday.
He decried some lapses at the facility which he said he had earlier complained about.
“ The last time I was here I noticed some security gap in the prison, I made my observation then with the former CG with the present controller prison and I notice the security gap and I told them precisely what to do but unfortunately this has occurred.
“Two prisoners escaped and especially these are prisoners who are awaiting trial for murder. So, this is a very serious issue that I cannot be happy about,’’ he said.
