We’ve Had Recurring Attacks On Prisons Since #EndSARS Protests — Aregbesola
Rauf Aregbesola, the minister of interior, has stated that there have been recurring attacks on prisons across the country since the #EndSARS protests in October 2020.
He made the remarks on Tuesday, July 12, while visiting the Kirikiri maximum and medium-security detention facilities in Apapa, Lagos.
This follows last week’s attack on the medium-security prison in Kuje, near Abuja, which resulted in the release of 879 prisoners.

According to him;
“So far, no jailbreak by inmates has been successful, we have successfully quelled all of them. What we have reoccurring since the #EndSARS protests of October 2020, have been a mass of people attacking our facilities from outside and setting the inmates free.
However, I have now directed the Controller General of the NCoS to double his efforts on intelligence gathering to fortify and prevent breaches to the Custodial Centres beyond the use of arms and force.”
