The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, on Monday,
ordered prisons officers to shoot dead anybody who attempts to attack any
correctional centre in the country.
The minister gave this order while inspecting the facility
at the Agodi Custodial Centre, Ibadan.
He said the officer must make it impossible for anyone to
penetrate the facility because it is a red zone.
Aregbesola said any attack on any correctional centre is an attack on the state and such must never be allowed again.
The minister said any attempt to attack correctional centres
should be a suicide attempt and perpetrators must not be allowed to live to
tell the story.
He said, “The most important thing is the security
impregnability of this facility. Make this facility impregnable.
“It is a red zone, dangerous zone. Whoever attempts to
breach the security here is already dead. He must not live to tell the story.
Other people will tell his or her story.
“Any effort to breach our facility is not acceptable. Don’t
shoot to injure, shoot to kill. Don’t shoot to disable, shoot to kill.
“This is a total embodiment of the state to guarantee the
security of the people.
“We will do our best regarding your welfare to ensure
effective service. I must commend your work for not recording any case of
COVID-19 in your facility.
“But most importantly, you must be effective in preventing
the penetration of this facility. You must have the capacity to repel viciously
any attempt to penetrate this facility.”
