Owerri Prison Invasion: Outcome Of Investigation Will Stun Nigerians – Aregbesola

•  “Nigerians would know the roles played even by our officers in Owerri.”

 Rauf Aregbesola, the Minister of Interior, says Nigerians will be left astounded and shocked by  result of the investigative report of the attacks on Owerri Custodial Centre.

Recall that unknown gunmen had attacked the state prison facilities and police headquarters in Owerri, the Imo State capital, on April 5.

Aregbesola said the attack was the worst of its kind in the history of the country.

Speaking at the headquarters of the Nigerian Correctional Service, NCS, Abuja on Sunday while addressing squadron commanders, Aregbesola said officials of the correctional facility colluded with the attackers to perpetrate the heinous crime.

“Let me say it loud and clear here when the investigation is concluded, Nigerians would know the roles played even by our officers in Owerri.

“But I must give kudos to our personnel in Bauchi Kano and Lagos (Ikoyi) for their gallantry in frustrating attempts by intruders to attack our facilities. They did not allow small, small things to sway them from doing their jobs,” Aregbesola said.
