Enugu Correctional Centre beefs up security against attack

By ALEX ENEBELI

Enugu Correctional Centre says it has beefed up security around the facility to forestall any attack that could lead to jailbreak.

The Spokesman for the centre, Mr Emeka Monday, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Tuesday.

Monday said the measure became necessary, following Monday’s attack on the police headquarters and correctional centre in Owerri, the Imo capital.

According to him, the centre is working with other sister security agencies to provide maximum security around the Enugu correctional centre.

“We are aware of what happened in Imo and have put certain measures in place to ensure that such an ugly incident does not happen here.

“We are on alert and will resist any jailbreak attempt. For now, the centre is secured and safe,” Monday said. (NAN)
