 Nigeria Correctional Service Vows Sanctions for Negligent Officers Amid Surge in Jailbreaks


The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has issued a stern warning to its officers, threatening sanctions for negligence following a wave of jailbreaks that have compromised custodial centres nationwide. Controller-General Sylvester Nwakuche attributed the security breaches to the “lackadaisical attitude” of some personnel, declaring that such lapses will no longer be tolerated.


According to data from media reports, the NCoS website, and other sources, approximately 6,700 inmates have escaped from 13 correctional facilities between 2019 and 2025. Over 4,600 of these escapees, many of whom were awaiting trial for serious crimes such as terrorism and armed robbery, remain at large. Around 2,000 have been recaptured, the NCoS reported.


Speaking at a ceremony in Abuja on Friday, where 30 officers were promoted to Assistant Controllers-General of Corrections, Nwakuche condemned the negligence of some zonal coordinators, state controllers, and custodial centre officers. “It is obvious that our Zonal Coordinators, State Controllers, and Officers-in-Charge of Custodial Centres have abdicated their duties. This is unacceptable, and any further abdication of responsibilities will surely attract the big stick,” he stated.


Nwakuche emphasized that the promotions were a call to action for disciplined and proactive leadership, especially as public confidence in the correctional system wanes. He reiterated the NCoS’s commitment to the NCoS Act 2019, which prioritizes rehabilitation and reintegration over punitive measures.


The Controller-General also commended President Bola Tinubu and Minister of Interior Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo for their support in reforming the service and improving conditions for both personnel and inmates. He described the officers’ promotions as recognition of their years of diligence, sacrifice, and commitment to duty, urging them to uphold the service’s mandate with renewed vigor.
