As indicated by him, the CP stated, “I have deployed additional mobile policemen to the correctional centres in Lagos State.”

The decision by the Commissioner of Police might not be unrelated to the attack on the Owerri Correctional Centre in Imo State where more than 1,884 prisoners were released by gunmen on Monday.

The Police Command of Imo State was likewise attacked on the same day by gunmen who set numerous vehicles on fire.
