The Nigerian Correctional Service NCoS has dismissed, as false and misleading, reports that an inmate at the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Kuje, Abuja, was robbed of personal valuables worth over N120 million during a routine search operation at the facility.
Service Public Relations Officer, CSC Jane Osuji, in a statement on Friday in Abuja, said the allegation was entirely inconsistent with the operational realities and established procedures governing custodial facilities in Nigeria.
